The objective of this work is to study, on a copper wire, the effect of TiO2-nanoparticles on electrodeposited nickel. Both the microstructure and surface morphology (texture) of the coating were investigated. This deposit is obtained from baths of sulfated electroplating Watts. The Ni-TO2 composite coating is deposited at a temperature of 45 °C. T...
One of the applications of selective surfaces is to improve performance of solar absorbers. The purpose of this work is to produces selective coatings with high absorption of solar radiation in the range of UV/Vis/NIR. It was prepared a selective surface composed of black chromium (Cr/Cr2O3) deposited on substrates of AISI 304 stainless steel using...
The present work investigates the approach of the in-situ investigation of the microstructure of electrolytic deposited metal layers by using a conventional x-ray diffractometer. The used electrochemical x-ray cell used allows the reduction of the electrolytic film thickness during the x-ray diffraction to avoid a significant reducing of intensity ...

The effects of surfactants on the electrolytic deposition of tin–nickel alloys from oxalate–ammonium electrolytes were determined. The adsorption of the nonionic surfactant at the interface decreases the rate of charge transfer across the interface. As a result, the electrochemical stage of the electroreduction of metals slows down, and the alloy i...

La2Zr2O7 thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with dispersed Pt particles were prepared by cathode plasma electrolytic deposition (CPED) with ceramic balls added to the cathode region. Compared with the conventional CPED, when ceramic balls are used in the cathode region, the plasma discharge ignition current density decreases approximately 62-fold and ...

Porous α-Al2O3 thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) containing dispersed Pt particles were prepared by cathode plasma electrolytic deposition (CPED). The influence of the Pt particles on the microstructure of the coatings and the CPED process were studied. The prepared coatings were mainly composed of α-Al2O3. The average thickness of the coatings was a...
The present study investigated the formation of a binary alloy of lead and tin. Both elements represent a thermodynamic system with strongly limited miscibility in solid state. The deposition of the layers was carried out under potentiostatic conditions at various deposition potentials from a sulfonate-based electrolyte. The layer formation was cha...
CdSe epilayers were grown on GaAs(0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) in a wide range of VI/II beam-equivalent-pressure (BEP) ratio from 1.1 to 8.5. X-ray diffraction (XRD) theta-2 theta scan reveals all the CdSe samples possess cubic zinc blende structure with (0 0 1) orientation. The film grown at a low VI/II ratio of 1.1 has rough ...
CdSe thin films have been grown on GaAs (0 0 1) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The effects of substrate temperature and annealing treatment on the structural properties of CdSe layers were investigated. The growth rate slightly decreases due to the accelerated desorption of Cd from CdSe surface with an increase in the temperature. The ...
