While the NbP layer was amorphous, it also held nanocrystals ... The researchers found that the low resistivity of the thin film is due to its surfaces being more conductive than the bulk of ...

“But if you can make them amorphous or slightly disordered and ... The researchers are now exploring ways to turn their thin films into wires and testing their reliability under real-world ...

We have investigated the UV and VUV optical properties of various metal, oxide, nitride, silicide, and intermetallic thin films and multilayer film stacks for optical and barrier layer applications.

75.5cm2/V/s mobility and high stability are claimed for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors created at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE). The ...
