Pinhole free, uniform and conformal oxidation barrier on Cu and Fe powder.• Proper agitation of the powder is required and performed by a rotating ALD reactor.• Al2O3 coating of 8 nm on Cu powder causes a shift of oxidation temperature of 200 °C • Al2O3 coating of 25 nm on Fe powder causes a shift of oxidation temperature of 400 °C
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
