ABSTRACT: The magnetron sputtered tantalum diboride (TaBy) coatings from stoichiometric TaB2 target are often reported to be deposited in broad B/Ta interval with diverse structure and mechanical properties. In this article, the effect of Ar neutrals reflected from...
ABSTRACT: The construction of a solar sail from commercially available metallized film presents several challenges. The solar sail membrane is made by seaming together precut lengths of ultrathin metallized polymer film into the required geometry. This assembled sail...
ABSTRACT: The exploitation of facile preparation methods and novel applications of entropy alloys has gained ever-increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, homogeneous FeCoNiCu medium entropy alloys (MEAs) with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure are...
