Thin films and coatings of oxides are used in various fields of science and technology, such as semiconductor and optoelectronic devices, gas sensors, protective and wear resistant coatings etc. Of late, there has been a ...

Transition Metal (TM) silicides are potential materials for different high temperature applications due to their high melting points and chemical stability at elevated temperatures. In the present work, the possible use of ...

Titania has been the focus of attention for several decades owing to its chemical stability, non-toxicity, inexpensiveness and robust surface chemistry. Its technological applications include use in diverse areas such as ...

A porous silica –silica composite was processed with varying fiber diameters using the slurry moulding technique. The advantage of the process was that the density of the composite could be processed to the required levels. ...

The research work presented in this thesis reports for the first time the fabrication of Titanium Niobium complex oxide (TiNb2O7 (TNO)) thin films by employing pulsed laser deposition and their use as the anode material ...

This thesis describes the deposition of thin films of titanium oxide and Magnéli phases of titanium oxide by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using a novel β-ketoesterate precursor. Titanium oxide is a promising candidate for ...

The present research work mainly focuses on fabrication of compositionally modulated multilayers of (l−x) Pb(Mgi/3N2/3)O3 - x PbTiO3 (PMNPT) through multi target pulsed laser ablation technique. Heterostructures like ...

Inexhaustible solar energy, which provides a clean, economic and green energy, seems to be an alternative solution, for current and future energy demands. Harvesting solar energy presents a challenge in using eco-friendly, ...

The development of radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), especially the dream of integrating analog, digital and radio frequency (RF) components on the same chip that is commonly known as System-on-a-Chip (SoC), is ...

When materials approach the size of few nanometers, they show properties which are significantly different from their bulk counterpart. Such unique/improved properties make them potential candidate for several emerging ...
