      Transition metal dichalcogenides belong to one of the most developed classes of materials for solid lubrication. However, one of the main drawbacks of most of the self-lubricating coatings is their low load-bearing capacity, ...
    • Microstructural investigation on the grain refinement occurring in Cu-doped Ni-Ti thin films

      (Elsevier, 2014)
      The mechanism of grain refinement in Cu-doped Ni-Ti thin films have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sputter deposited (Ni,Cu)-rich Ni-Ti-Cu thin films exhibited a columnar structure consisting ...
    • Nanoscale colour control: W–O graded coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering
