Reaction and Growth Mechanisms in Al2O3 deposited via Atomic Layer Deposition: Elucidating the Hydrogen Source

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively elucidated the source of hydrogen content in the atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 at different temperatures (80 −220 °C), by replacing the H2O precursor with heavy water (D2O) to use as a tracer and discern between the H coming from the unreacted metal precursor ligands and that from unreacted −OD (hydroxyl) groups coming from heavy water.

Low-Loss BaTiO3–Si Waveguides for Nonlinear Integrated Photonics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the origin of high optical propagation losses and demonstrate a path to fabricate low-loss BaTiO3-Si waveguides with propagation losses of only 6 dB/cm.

Low-loss integrated photonics for the blue and ultraviolet regime

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-loss integrated photonics platform in the visible and near ultraviolet (UV) regime is presented, where fully etched waveguides based on ALD of aluminum oxide operate in a single transverse mode with <3 dB/cm propagation loss at a wavelength of 371 nm.

Ultralight shape-recovering plate mechanical metamaterials

TL;DR: A class of nanoscale mechanical metamaterials created by forming continuous corrugated plates out of ultrathin films that can be engineered to be extremely flat and have the ability to ‘pop-back' to their original shape without damage even after undergoing multiple sharp bends of more than 90°.

An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a Berkovich indenter to determine hardness and elastic modulus from indentation load-displacement data, and showed that the curve of the curve is not linear, even in the initial stages of the unloading process.

The Tension of Metallic Films Deposited by Electrolysis

TL;DR: It is well known that metallic films deposited electrolytically are in many cases liable to peel off if deposited to any considerable thickness as discussed by the authors, especially if it does not adhere very tightly to the body on which it is deposited.
