Passivated SiC Surfaces for Photonic and Quantum Applications: Balancing Chemical Stability and Surface Luminescence

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Low‐temperature passivation of SiC reveals that optical surface quality and chemical stability are not directly correlated. Ar plasma‐treated and SiNx‐passivated surfaces yield the lowest photoluminescence background, whereas CF4 plasma and ALD‐grown dielectrics introduce higher emission.

Improvement in the Hydrogen Storage Properties of MgH₂ by Adding NaAlH₄

Metals
Milled MgH2, MgH2-10NaAlH4, MgH2-30NaAlH4, MgH2-50NaAlH4, and MgH2-2Ni-10NaAlH4 samples were prepared by milling in a planetary ball mill in hydrogen atmosphere (reactive mechanical milling, RMM).

Photochromic mechanism in oxygen-containing yttrium hydride thin films: An optical perspective [PDF]

, 2017
Oxygen-containing yttrium hydride thin films exhibit photochromic behavior: Transparent thin films reversibly switch from a transparent state to a photodarkened state after being illuminated with UV or blue light.

Layered Nanoporous Platforms for SERS Sensing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Here, we present a detailed investigation of the SERS performance of layered nanoporous metals. The controlled deposition of well‐defined, stacked porous layers enabled a systematic analysis of the effects of multimetallic systems in SERS experiments. Numerical models are also used to support the experimental findings.

Formation and characterization of inorganic membranes from zeolite-silica microcomposites [PDF]

, 1988
Small crystals of zeolites (500-1000 nm) with two- and three-dimensional channel systems (faujasite and ZSM-5 structures) were embedded in amorphous thin films derived from TEOS hydrolyzed in alcoholic solution.

Hydrogenation of Magnesium Nickel Boride for Reversible Hydrogen Storage [PDF]

, 2010
We report that a ternary magnesium nickel boride (MgNi_(2.5)B_2) mixed with LiH and MgH_2 can be hydrogenated reversibly forming LiBH_4 and Mg_2NiH_4 at temperatures below 300 °C. The ternary boride was prepared by sintering a mechanically milled mixture
