      Electron spectroscopic studies of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings 

      Baker, M. A.; Rebholz, Claus; Leyland, A.; Matthews, A. (2002)
      A range of TiAlBN coatings have been deposited by electron beam evaporation and the optimised composition exhibits a 150% improvement over single phase TiAlN coatings in drilling tests. The coatings have been analysed by ...

      Influence of grain size on ultrafast carrier dynamics in thin nanocrystalline silicon films 

      Lioudakis, Emmanouil E.; Othonos, Andreas S.; Nassiopoulou, Androula Galiouna; Lioutas, Ch B.; Frangis, N. (2007)
      The ultrafast carrier dynamics in thin nanocrystalline silicon films (10 and 20 nm thick) on quartz over a broad spectral range using optical pumping at a moderate fluence of 2.5 mJ cm2 were studied. The films were composed ...
