AbstractIn this work the corrosion resistance of stainless steel 304L coated with Mn-based thin film and post annealed with flow of nitrogen at 723 K in 0.6 M NaCl solution is reported. The latter was performed at three different solution temperatures of 293 K, 313 K and 333 K. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the crystallographical structure and […]
AbstractA method for enhancing the resistance against corrosion of stainless steel 304L coated with 190 nm-thick manganese film and annealed with nitrogen flux at constant temperature (723 K) is reported. The variable quantity in this work is the temperature of the corroding solution (293 K and 333 K). X-ray diffraction analysis was employed to investigate the crystallographical changes of […]
AbstractMn helical star-shaped (pine-tree-like) nano-sculptured thin films with three-, four-and fivefold symmetry on copper substrates were produced using oblique angle deposition method in conjunction with rotation of sample holder at certain angles. Raman spectroscopy of the samples which were subjected to impregnation by 4,4′-bipyridine (C10H8N2) solution was carried out by 632.8 nm wavelength laser. The analysis […]
AbstractZirconium thin films were deposited on a glass substrate using direct current magnetron sputtering technique and then post-annealed at different temperatures (100°C to 500°C in steps of 100°C) in an oxygen constant flow. The dependence of crystallographic structure, surface morphology, chemical composition, and electrical and decorative properties of the films on the annealing temperature was […]
AbstractA 2.2-kJ Mather type plasma focus device charged at 18 kV was used to deposit titanium nitride on 304 type stainless steel substrates. The plasma focus device is fitted with solid titanium anode and operated with nitrogen as the filling gas. The process of deposition was done at room temperature, and samples were deposited at […]
AbstractExtinction spectra of chiral silver nanostructures are calculated by means of Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA). Dependence of Plasmonic peaks to both structural parameters of nanostructures and direction of the incident light are obtained. This dependence is investigated on variation of chiral dimensions, chiral shape and direction of incident light. We have observed a resonance peak […]
AbstractThe use of glancing angle deposition technique provides opportunities for the deposition of sculptured nanostructures of different shape. The optical properties of such nanostructures that are a function of the shape of these nanostructures may be investigated, using the discrete dipole approximation theory which is an appropriate method for solving the light scattering problem from […]
