  2. 1. Silicon Carbide Reinforced Alumina and Mullite Ceramics

    Author : Stefan Gustafsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ceramic Nanocomposites; Creep; SEM; SiC; Grain Boundaries; Microanalysis; Mullite; Pressureless Sintering; TEM; Alumina;

    Abstract : The aim of this work was to develop homogeneous ceramic nanocomposite materials with good thermal and structural stability as well as good mechanical properties. The development of microstructure was related to the material properties. READ MORE

  4. 2. Synthesis and Characterisation of Magnetron Sputtered Alumina-Zirconia Thin Films

    Author : David Huy Trinh; Hans Högberg; Anders Hårsta; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Alumina; Zirconia; NaKeywords: Alumina; Zirconia; Nanocomposite; Sputtering; Thin-Film; PVD; TEM; EELS; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Alumina-Zirconia thin films were grown on a range of substrates using dual magnetron sputtering. Film growth was achieved at a relatively low temperature of 450 °C and at higher temperatures up to 810 °C. The films were grown on well-defined surfaces such as silicon (100) but also on industrially relevant substrates such as hardmetal (WC-Co). READ MORE

  5. 3. Synthesis and Characterization of Ternary Carbide Thin Films

    Author : Ola Wilhelmsson; Ulf Jansson; Michael Stueber; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Chemistry; Thin film; dc magnetron sputtering; tribology; carbide; PVD; MAX-phase; DFT; solid solution; Kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis reports on synthesis, microstructure and properties of binary and ternary carbide thin films deposited by dc magnetron sputtering. These materials are interesting since they exhibit a wide range of useful properties, such as high hardness, resistance to wear and oxidation, and high electrical conductivity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nanocrystalline Alumina-Zirconia Thin Films Grown by Magnetron Sputtering

    Author : David Huy Trinh; Hans Högberg; Marianne Collin; Lars Hultman; Ingrid Reineck; Mats Halvarsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Alumina-zirconia thin films have been deposited using dual magnetron sputtering. Film growth was performed at relatively low-to-medium temperatures, ranging from ~300°C to 810 °C. Different substrates were applied, including silicon (100), and industrially relevant materials, such as WC-Co hardmetal. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optical interconnects and high frequency electronic packaging : SBU-materials, material characterization, LAP- & microprocessing

    Author : Steffen Uhlig; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optical interconnects; overview opto coupling components; overview planar waveguide amplifiers; large area panel processing; polymer waveguides; multilayer thin film technology; ORMOCER®; sequential build up; permittivity; dielectric loss;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to discuss and demonstrate optical interconnect technologies. These can be used to enhance the data throughput capacity of future printed circuit boards and backplanes, i.e. exchange Copper conductors with light conductors. READ MORE
