Simultaneous H2O:O2 Co‐Reactant Pulsing for Functional Property Control of Atomic Layer Deposited ZnO, TiO2, and Al2O3 Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Simultaneous H2O:O2 co‐pulsing in thermal ALD modulates surface hydroxylation to engineer nanovoids and properties in ZnO, TiO2, and Al2O3. The ligand‑dependent pathway promotes c‑axis‑textured ZnO, reduced‑crystallinity yet Ti4+‑preserved TiO2, and highly transparent, hydrophilic Al2O3, while lowering the refractive indices.

Security hardening using infrastructure as code

Edelweiss Applied Science and Technology
This paper examines Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Ansible to automate and enhance security hardening in Linux environments. As IT infrastructures grow more complex, manual security configurations become error-prone, inefficient, and inconsistent. IaC addresses these issues by allowing organizations to define and deploy infrastructure configurations
