TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined void nucleation and coalescence in Au-Al wire bonds using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and found that void formation is not only attributed to Kirkendall-type migration as conventionally believed, but also due to volumetric shrinkage and intermetallic oxidation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the preparation of millimetre-sized liquid marbles with strong mechanical strength and good deformability using self-assembled fluoroalkyl-silane functionalized titanate nanobelt powder.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the Ti diffusion on the structure and electrical properties of lead-free NbO3 thin films was investigated by secondary ion mass spectroscopy depth profile and X-ray photo-electron spectrograph surface analysis.

TL;DR: A new pulse sequence based on intermolecular single-quantum coherences (iSQCs) is proposed to obtain high-resolution NMR spectroscopy in inhomogeneous magnetic fields via fast 2D acquisition and can recover useful information of chemical shifts, relative peak areas, J coupling constants, and multiplet patterns even when the field inhomogeneity is severe enough to erase almost all spectroscopic information.

TL;DR: In this article, the conventional hollow copper anode of Mather type plasma focus device was replaced by solid titanium anode for synthesis of TiCx/SiC/a-C:H nanocomposite thin films using CH4:Ar admixture of (1:9, 3:7 and 5:5) for fixed 20 focus shots as well as with different number of focus shots with fixed CH 4:Ar ada-ixture ratio fixed at 3.7 XRD results showed the formation of crystalline SiC phases for thin film synthesized using different
