Characterization of Co/ZrO₂de-NO_XThin Film Catalysts Prepared by Magnetron Sputtering

UV-A Treatment of ZrO2 Thin Films Fabricated by Environmental Friendlier Water-Based Solution Processing: Structural and Optical Studies

“…Zirconia (ZrO 2 ) has emerged as an excellent material due to its unique properties such as wide band gap (3-7.8 eV) [1,2], high level stability (chemical, thermal, and electrical), tuneable conductivity, and high refractive index, making it suitable for high performance bio medical [3], sensing [4,5], catalyst [6] and many more applications. Most important of all, its high dielectric constant has rendered it an ultimate position as a viable substitute for conventional gate dielectric in transistors [7,8] and in storage capacitors [9], for future generation electronic technologies.…”

Microstructure, porosity and roughness of RF sputtered oxide thin films: Characterization and modelization

“…However, this method is quite difficult to carry out because about 1 m 2 of an effective surface is required for the measurement using volumetric techniques. Only a few studies have been carried out so far for sputtered thin films [2][3][4][5]. Effective surfaces of less than 10 cm 2 can be measured using surface acoustic waves (SAWs) detection [6] in place of volumetric systems.…”

Characterization of mixed yttria and zirconia thin films

“…The advantage of the method is that the deposition process is controllable, oxide films with desired chemical composition, structure, thickness and adhesion to the steel substrate being obtained. The films deposited by us are applicable as supports of thin-layer catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and three-way catalysts for motors [33,34].…”
