Thin copper and carbon coatings of electrodes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have the
potential to improve LIB operation by preserving electrode integrity during cycling, by …

Recently, there has been rapid progress in methods for the direct mass spectrometric
analysis of solid materials, which do not require the sample preparation procedure including …

Au/Cu multilayer films coated on silicon substrates with a native SiO 2 layer were prepared
using the magnetron sputtering system. The defects formation as well as their growing …

The nucleation of the Cu 3 Si phase was studied on sputter-deposited Cu/Si/Cu trilayered
specimens both in curved and planar geometry. Two experimental methods, atom probe …

Grain boundary (GB) diffusion of Si in polycrystalline Cu film was studied in the temperature
range of 403–453 K, in the C-type kinetic regime. The amorphous Si layer (80 nm) and …

Si is a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity
compared to conventional graphite and metal oxides; however, the pulverization during the …

The solid state reaction between Cu and a-Si films was investigated at 150–200° C by depth
profiling with secondary neutral mass spectrometry. Intermixing was observed leading to the …

Direct current magnetron sputter deposited Cu films have been grown on Si substrates
without and with WTi barrier layers. The combined impact of thermal and kinetic energy …

In Erdélyi and Schmitz (2012) a flexible concept for the computational description of the
phase formation and growth in solid state reactions was described. Unlike in other …
