A survey on crystallization kinetic behavior of direct current magnetron sputter deposited NiTi thin films

Compact Four-Port Waveguide Circulator Using Discrete Ferrites for Injection-Locking Magnetron System

“…Magnetrons have been widely used in microwave energy transmission, microwave heating, and materials processing because of their advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency, low cost, and high output power [1,2]. However, the microwave source using a free-running magnetron exhibits issues such as frequency instability, wide-band spectrum, coupling between output power and frequency, etc.…”

Surface modified NiTi smart biomaterials: Surface engineering and biological compatibility

“…They have a similar elastic modulus to natural bone, a compressive strength higher than natural bone and an excellent corrosion resistance in physiological solutions, motivating research in their use as biomedical implants. Biomedical engineering applications considered have included orthodontic implants, cardiovascular stents, artificial heart valves, orthopedic staples and guidewire as well as several surgical and dental instruments [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Encouraging tribomechanical and biological responses of hydroxyapatite coatings reinforced by various levels of niobium pentoxide particles

“…The technique allows fabricating uniform layers and incorporating one or more reinforcing agents into the growing film. 5–9…”

“…The technique allows fabricating uniform layers and incorporating one or more reinforcing agents into the growing film. [5][6][7][8][9] NiTi shape memory alloys, falling under the category of metallic biomaterials, exhibit noticeable superelasticity, high corrosion resistance, suitable biocompatibility, and moderate elastic modulus (28-40 and 70 GPa in martensite and austenite phases, respectively). Thanks to its encouraging properties, NiTi is commonly used in various clinical branches, such as orthopedics, cardiovascular, and orthodontics.…”
