Fe–Al-based materials possess a number of properties which make them highly interesting
for the development of new light-weight structural materials. However, lack of strength at …

Vapor-phase film deposition of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) would facilitate the
integration of these materials into electronic devices. We studied the vapor-phase layer-by …

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) jointly with the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
(EST) operates a multipurpose X-ray spectrometry endstation at the X-ray Fluorescence …

High-performance greases typically consist of a base oil and polyurea as a thickener
material. To date, few alternatives to polyureas have been investigated. Polyesters could be …

The multi-purpose experimental endstation of beamline BL9 at the Dortmund Electron
Accelerator (DELTA) is dedicated to diffraction experiments in grazing-incidence geometry …

Due to their superior wear and oxidation resistance, Stellite™ coatings are widely used in
industrial applications, where the coatings are exposed to high temperature. Common …

In contrast to all known shape memory polymers, the melting temperature of crystals in
shape memory natural rubber (SMNR) can be greatly manipulated by the application of …

Phospholipids fulfill an important role in joint lubrication. They, together with hyaluronan and
glycoproteins, are the biolubricants that sustain low friction between cartilage surfaces …

The structural properties of hafnium nitride films are mainly influenced by the deposition
conditions, which are affected by the sputtering technique. A suitable use of the different …

The compound InCu 2/3 V 1/3 O 3 has been studied by spectroscopy in the IR, near-infrared,
and visible regions. X-ray and neutron diffraction indicate two-dimensional (2D) structural …
