CaxZn(1-x)Al2O4 ( x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30) thin films were prepared by a sol gel method. The XRD patterns displayed the characteristic peaks of (Ca/Zn)Al2O4with the standard pattern of face-centred cubic (fcc). The addition of Ca decreased the lattice constant from 14.6 nm to 23.2 nm. The opti…

Residual stresses are those stresses that remain in a body when there is no external load applied. Numerous factors can induce residual stresses in the material, including cold forming. Thermal treatments of steel are widely used because they can improve the mechanical properties of the steel, such as toughness, tenac…

The homogeneity of emitters is very important for the performance of field emission (FE) devices. Reactive-ion etching (RIE) and oxidation have significant influences on the geometry of silicon tips. The RIE influences mainly the anisotropy of the emitters. Pressure has a strong impact on the anisotropic factor. Reduc…
