This is a short review about the ion irradiation-induced foams in antimonide films. III-V semiconductors like InSb and GaSb can be transformed into solid foams with nanometric dimensions upon irradiation with swift heavy ions, increasing significantly the effective surface area of the material....

Study on Napier grass leaf (NGL), stem (NGS) and leaf and stem (NGT) was carried out. Proximate, ultimate and structural analyses were evaluated. Functional groups and crystalline components in the biomass were examined. Pyrolysis study was conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer under...

Amorphous (Ni_0.6Nb_0.4)_1−xZr_x membranes were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and tensile modulus measurements. Crystallization occurs only above 673 K, and even after hydrogenation the membranes retain their mainly amorphous nature....

ZnO thin films were prepared onto the glass substrates by the sol–gel spin coating method for various Zn concentrations and at different spin rates. The influence of concentration of zinc and spin rate on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films were investigated. It was...
