Atom probe tomography is frequently employed to characterize the elemental distribution in
solids with atomic resolution. Here the potential of this technique to locally probe chemical …

Metal silicides have received significant attention due to their high process compatibility, low
resistivity, and structural stability. In nanowire (NW) form, they have been widely prepared …

Achieving high yield strength via submicrometer grain size and nanoscaled precipitation has
been reached in 7### aluminum alloys thanks to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by High …

Combining submicrometer grain size with nanoscaled precipitation is an attractive approach
to achieve high yield stress with reasonable ductility in aluminum alloys. The control of super …

Several irradiation experiments have confirmed the positive effect of adding Si to the matrix
of an U (Mo) dispersion fuel plate on its in-pile irradiation behavior. E-FUTURE, the first …

The formation of Ni silicide during the reaction between Ni (5% Pt) and a Si (100) substrate
has been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) …

Due to the constant downscaling of microelectronic devices, thin films of Ni-Pt monosilicide,
Ni (Pt) Si, are widely used as contact materials on the active regions of complementary metal …

The formation of Ni silicide alloyed with Pt has been analyzed by atom probe tomography. A
300° C/1h anneal results in simultaneous growth of the NiSi and Ni2Si phases: the Ni2Si …
