Electrochromic films of tungsten oxide and nickel oxide were made by reactive dc
magnetron sputtering and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering …

Highlights► Thin films of Si-doped ZnO were prepared by the sol–gel spin coating
method.► The optical and structural properties of the films were investigated to see the …

This work reports the synthesis at room temperature of transparent and colored W x Si y O z
thin films by magnetron sputtering (MS) from a single cathode. The films were characterized …

Nanostructure based on a dielectric grating (Al2O3), gasochromic oxide (WO3) and catalyst
(Pd) is proposed as a hydrogen sensor working at the room temperature. In the fabricated …

This work reports a X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study under “in operando”
conditions of the structural and chemical changes undergone by WO3 and W x Si y O z thin …

We propose a method for determining complex dielectric permittivity dynamics in the
gasochromic oxides in the course of their interaction with a gas as well as for estimating the …

Tungsten oxide–silicon dioxide (WO x–SiO y) composite thin films were deposited for the
first time via the remote oxygen plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (ALD) process …

Tungsten oxide (WO x) thin film have been deposited onto glass substrates using the
thermal vacuum evaporation technique, monitored by an annealing process in a variable …

Heating reflective metals is known to produce a wide range of colors due to oxidation of the
metal surface. In fact, the most vibrant colors used in the pre-industrial era came from oxides …

New security devices based on innovative technologies and ideas are essential in order to
limit counterfeiting's profound impact on our economy and society. Interference security …
