Materials with a disordered atomic structure, often termed glassy materials, are the focus of
extensive research due to the possibility of achieving remarkable mechanical …

β-SnSb is known to be a highly stable anode for sodium ion batteries during cycling, but its
sodiation–desodiation alloying reactions are poorly understood. Combining in situ TEM with …

Research on micro/nano-electro-mechanical system (MEMS/NEMS) reliability is of crucial
importance, due to the fact that we are facing an era in which MEMS and emerging NEMS …

Nanocrystalline 3 µm thick Cu1–xNix (0.45≤ x≤ 0.87) films are electrodeposited
galvanostatically onto Cu/Ti/Si (100) substrates, from a citrate‐and sulphate‐based bath …

Nanocrystalline (nc) Ni films show pronounced grain growth and suffer from concomitant
deterioration of their mechanical and magnetic properties after annealing at relatively low …

In this work, we report on the controlled change of the wetting behaviour of silica thin films
deposited by a reactive e-beam evaporation. The as-deposited coated surfaces were treated …

We investigate the bulk and surface features of the crystalline–amorphous transitions in
binary Al–Mo alloy thin films as a function of Mo composition using transmission electron …

The primary goal of this work is to examine the effect of in situ substrate conditions viz.,
substrate bias voltage and substrate temperature on the structural, morphological …

A complex rolling behaviour for InGaAs/GaAs/Nb trilayer microtubes is reported. Video
microscopy of the rolling process unveils a variety of movements present in this material …

This study details the resonance properties of 20 nm thick nanoelectromechanical system
scale cantilevers fabricated from a metallic Al–32 at.% Mo nanocomposite. The advantage of …
