Experimental investigation of thermally grown Indium film’s structural and tribological properties
Abstract: Indium thin film growth found numerous applications, such as cold welding of infrared detectors and readout-integrated circuits (ROIC) to form sensor chips. In film is grown on the Si substrate by thermal evaporation. The XRD results indicated the tetragonal bcc phase in the (101) preferential plane. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated an uniform, continuous film covering the whole surface. The EDS examination confirmed the pure In film. The atomic force …

Thermal and Microstructural Evaluation of Natural-Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites: Sustainable Alternatives to Synthetic Materials
Abstract: The scope of engineering requirements for composite materials, which mix features from several elements engaged in engineering applications to enable greater performance, cannot be adequately understood in this way. The most recent of these materials are hybrid composites, which combine synthetic and natural fibers, particularly glass fibers, and are anticipated to create new, promising materials in terms of their ties to cost, performance, and consistency. From the perspective of their …

Mechanisms of Crystal Growth: From Spiral Steps to Surface Adhesion
Abstract: Crystal growth is a complex interplay between thermodynamic stability and kinetic processes, influenced heavily by the conditions under which crystallization occurs—particularly the degree of supersaturation. This abstract outline three principal regimes of solution-grown crystal growth: defect-driven, two-dimensional, and adhesive growth. At low supersaturation, growth is facilitated at surface defects, such as screw dislocations, where energy barriers to attachment are minimized. This results in the formation of spiraling steps that propagate …

Properties of ZnO Thin Film deposited on Flexible Substrate using RF Sputtering
Abstract: Semiconductor materials demand is increased in recent years, due to new emerging technologies. There is need to find the alternate for silicon in electronics industry, as silicon is brittle in nature and has low efficiency, which makes it unsuitable for transparent and flexible device. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is emerging as popular choice of researchers due to its wide range of properties, abundancy and non-toxicity. This work explores the properties of …

Fabrication and drilling characterization of Hemp & Grewia-Optiva hybrid composite and comparison with ANN model
Abstract: In recent days the use of natural fibers has increased over synthetic fibers due to various advantages. The alkali treatment for these natural fibers further improves the adhesion between fiber and matrix and greatly enhances the mechanical properties of the composite. The present study involves the fabrication of a hybrid composite using the alkali-treated (5% NaOH concentration) natural fibers – Hemp &Grewia-optiva as reinforcement material and epoxy as a matrix …

Enhancing Machinability in the Heat Treatment of Inconel 718: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The increasing need for materials with high strength and heat resistance, particularly in aerospace applications, creates machining issues. These materials are generally difficult to machine because to their strong wear resistance, abrasion resistance, and low heat conductivity. This produces strong cutting forces and temperatures, resulting in a limited tool life. variances in the microstructures of various materials can induce variations in machinability due to variances in chemical composition, casting, forging …

Investigation of Bio-Physical Interaction and Electrophoretic Properties of Fe3O4/DNA Nanocomposite and Colloids for Biomedical Application
Abstract: In recent years, research on magnetic nanoparticles has gained significant attention. The core concept behind their physics lies in their interaction with biomolecules such as hemoglobin, DNA, and RNA. This study examines the fundamental forces involved in these interactions, including van der Waals attractions, electrostatic repulsion, thermal effects, and magnetic coupling between nanoparticles and biological molecules. To describe these interactions quantitatively, parameters such as zeta potential, magnetic moment density, and …
