TL;DR: In this article, the early stages of SiO x film formation were studied on NaCl (100) surfaces by evaporating SiO. The selective nucleation of SiOs on the surface defects resulted in decoration patterns by developing three-dimensional SiOx grains.

TL;DR: In this article, the surface composition of the AlMn quasi-crystal was studied at various temperatures and excess Mn was found on the surface, and a qualitative model was proposed to describe the growth mechanism of the QC layer using the HTSD technique.

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete Structure Zone Diagram (SZD) has to show how the morphology, phase composition, crystallographic texture and other structural properties depend on the preparation conditions and has to specify the main processes leading to the described structures in the form of the pathway of structure formation.

TL;DR: The analysis of solid-state reaction in Al/Co multilayers shows that, after the first reaction step which is the formation of Al9Co2, the remaining Co “layer” can either be continuous or formed of Co nanoparticles as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the complex structural and micro-chemical analysis of the cross-sectional specimens of TiN thin films with PO crossover could provide the fundamental information required to discover the possible phenomena governing the evolution of this particular structure and to reconstruct its pathway.
