Active films and processes for depositing the same onto a complex 3D shape substrates and implants are provided. The process comprises the following steps: inserting into a process chamber a sputtering target, including at least two chemical elements and a ...
Microstructural characterization of Inconel 718 superalloy after three different heat treatment variants was performed by electron microscopy and electron tomography techniques, taking advantage of recent development in quantitative electron microscopy. Di ...
Crystallization of the Earth's inner core fractionates major and minor elements between the solid and liquid metal, leaving physical and geochemical imprints on the Earth's core. For example, the density jump observed at the Inner Core Boundary (ICB) is re ...
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) is effective for separating and quantifying nonpolar organic chemicals in complex mixtures. Here we present a model to estimate 11 environmental partitioning properties for nonpolar analytes based ...
We present a comparative theoretical and experimental study of dynamic structure factors (momentum-dependent loss functions) of the noble metals Cu, Ag, and Au in the energy range of 0-60 eV. The emphasis is on theoretical results that are compared with ne ...
Transparent polycrystalline alumina has many possible promising areas of application from jewelry and the watch industry to wave guides, energy economical lamp envelopes, and optical windows. Ultrahigh density, submicron sized grains and/or oriented micros ...
