Structure evolution and electric properties of tantalum nitride (TaN) films deposited on Al2O3-based ceramic and glass substrates by magnetron reactive sputtering were carried out as a function of the N2-to-Ar flow ratio. The TaN thin films on Al2O3-based ceramic substrates grow with...

Thin nanocrystalline Cu films ( 1 μm) are deposited on a glass substrate using an improved electroless plating technique. The deposition course of the Cu film is illustrated by the variation of surface morphology with different deposition time. The results show that a more uniform and...

Simultaneous antireflective and self-cleaning properties have been realized by depositing double-layered SiO2–TiO2 coatings onto glass substrates using a combined sol–gel dip-coating process in which the two oxide layers were deposited in succession. The first layer is composed of a hybrid...

CdS/CdTe solar cells have attracted attention recently for their potential as low-cost, high-efficiency solar cells of the future. It is because the CdTe layer (used for photoelectric conversion) has a bandgap energy of 1. 51 eV, which corresponds well to sunlight spectra, and the direct...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cost Americans hundreds in billions of dollars. High cholesterol levels, which are … closely related to diet habits, are a major contributor to CVD. In this paper we study whether changes in food prices are … levels and, consequently, CVD costs. We find that prices of vegetables, processed foods, and whole milk and whole grains …
