Microstructure and secular instability of the (Ti1 − x,Alx)N films prepared by ion-beam-assisted-deposition
(Ti1 − x ,Al x )N films were prepared by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). The films were synthesized by depositing titanium and aluminum metal individual vapor under simultan...

Microstructural characterisation of alumina with Ti ion implantation
The microstructure of alumina after Ti ion implantation has been investigated. A metal vapourvacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source was employed to implant Ti ions into alumina with doses of7.6 × 1016 and 3.1 × 1017 ions/...

Characterisation of Pointed Indentation Fracture of Thin Silica Films on a Ductile Substrate
Observations are presented of the indentation of amorphous silica films of different thickness on mild steel substrates. The films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating and sintering at 500°C. Indentation of th...
