Gas-diffusion barriers play an important role in many applications today, such as flat-panel
displays or solar cells grown on plastic substrates. In particular, organic light-emitting diodes …

A major problem in thermal barrier coatings (TBC) applied to gas turbine components is the
spallation of ceramic coating under thermal cycling processes. In order to prevent spallation …

Fluorite-structure binary oxides (eg, HfO< sub> 2 and ZrO< sub> 2) have attracted
increasing interest for a broad range of applications including thermal barrier coatings, high …

Thin films of ZrO2 and HfO2 have been deposited by liquid injection metal–organic (MO)
CVD using a range of new alkoxide precursors,[Zr (OtBu) 2 (mmp) 2](1),[Hf (OtBu) 2 (mmp) …

Abstract thin films were grown on substrates by atomic layer deposition. A high dielectric
constant was obtained due to the formation of a high-temperature crystalline form, tetragonal …

Nanocomposite films made up of either Pt–Rh/ZrO 2 or Pt–Rh/HfO 2 materials were co-
deposited using multiple e-beam evaporation sources onto langasite (La 3 Ga 5 SiO 14) …

Crystalline alumina–zirconia nanocomposites have been synthesized at 450° C and 750° C
with reactive magnetron sputtering using radio-frequency power supplies. The composition …

Thin ZrO 2 films are of high interest as high-k material in dynamic random access memory
(DRAM), embedded dynamic random access memory, and resistive random access memory …

A layer-by-layer, in-situ H 2 plasma treatment in each cycle of atomic layer deposition,
referred to as “atomic layer hydrogen bombardment”(ALHB), is applied to improve electrical …

Grain growth of nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) was
studied between 1250 and 1650° C and compared to the Y-TZP data from the literature. All …
