Nanocrystalline and Thin Film Germanium Electrodes with High Lithium Capacity and High Rate Capabilities [PDF]
Germanium nanocrystals (12 nm mean diam) and amorphous thin films (60-250 nm thick) were prepared as anodes for lithium secondary cells. Amorphous thin film electrodes prepared on planar nickel substrates showed stable capacities of 1700 mAh/g over 60 ...

Progress in Nanoporous Templates: Beyond Anodic Aluminum Oxide and Towards Functional Complex Materials [PDF]
Successful synthesis of ordered porous, multi-component complex materials requires a series of coordinated processes, typically including fabrication of a master template, deposition of materials within the pores to form a negative structure, and a third

High-Speed Erosion Behavior of Hydrophobic Micro/Nanostructured Titanium Surfaces
Ice accretion on aircrafts or their engines can cause serious problems and even accidents. Traditional anti-icing and de-icing systems reduce engine efficiency, which can be improved by the use of hydrophobic/icephobic coatings or surfaces that reduce ...

Microstructure and Properties of TiC/Ti Coatings Deposited by the Supersonic Cold Gas Spray Technique [PDF]
Nanostructured, biocompatible, TiC/Ti Supersonic Cold Gas Sprayed coatings were deposited onto a Ti6Al4V alloy and their microstructure, wear resistance and hardness were investigated. The starting nanostructured powder, containing a varied mixture of Ti

Plan-View Preparation of TEM Specimens from Thin Films Using Adhesive Tape [PDF]
A simple plan-view sample preparation technique for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) specimens is proposed for thin films by tearing-off the film with adhesive tape. The demand for very thin samples is highest for nanostructured materials where the

Hierarchical nanostructured aluminum alloy with ultrahigh strength and large plasticity
Strengthening a metallic alloy without sacrificing ductility remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a hierarchical nanostructured aluminium alloy composed of nanograins surrounding by metallic glass shells that has both ultrahigh strength and ...

High Strength Nanostructured Metastable Alloys [PDF]
Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques.
