Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of diamond films onto Co-cemented tungsten carbide
(WC-Co) tools and wear parts presents several problems due to interfacial graphitization …

We propose a bond order potential for carbon with built-in long-range interactions. The
potential is defined as the sum of an angular and coordination dependent short-range part …

Real-time sensing of dopamine is essential for understanding its physiological function and
clarifying the pathophysiological mechanism of diseases caused by impaired dopamine …

Academics and industry have sought after combining the exceptional properties of
diamonds with the toughness of steel. Since the early 1990s several partial solutions have …

Deposition of a consistent diamond coating on intricate surfaces has historically posed a
difficulty. This article presents the advancement in research on depositing a uniform …

A 300 nm thick polycrystalline diamond layer has been used for protection of zirconium alloy
nuclear fuel cladding against undesirable oxidation with no loss of chemical stability and …

A Ni/Cu/Ti multilayer system is proposed to face the typical problems-related with direct
diamond deposition on steel substrates, namely the lack of adhesion and growth rates …

In this study, diamond coating adhesion on cobalt-cemented tungsten-carbide (WC–Co)
substrates was investigated using scratch testing. In particular, a methodology was applied …

Cr/CrN bi-layers have been used recently to promote the growth of high quality Hot Filament
