MFM and AFM study of thin cobalt films modified by fluorosilane

Study of thermally evaporated thin permalloy films by the Fresnel mode of TEM and AFM

“…And a decrease of the magnetic anisotropy results in increasing the width of magnetic domains, as demonstrated for example in Refs. [30][31][32][33]. In case of the studied permalloy films, the result of the strongly reduced magnetic anisotropy is the domain structure with wide domains on a 10 m scale, as can be seen in Figs.…”

Tribological investigations of perfluoroalkylsilanes monolayers deposited on titanium surface

“…One of the best tribological properties present fluoroalkylsilanes [26,27]. These compounds have low values of surface free energy, adhesive force, coefficient of friction, high thermal stability and contact angle values, and are promising alternative for overcoming the limitations of electromechanical devices' lifetime [28,29]. Mayer et al used fluoroalkylsilanes to control adhesion in microelectromechanical systems [30], Kushmerick et al showed that these compounds can play a role as antistiction layers in micromachines [31].…”

Optimization of the surface properties of nanostructured Ni–W alloys on steel by a mixed silane layer

“…Silanization can be carried out either by dip-coating procedures or from vapors in a controlled atmosphere. 31,[34][35][36][37][38] The first step consists in the reaction of silane with water adsorbed at the surface oxides forming silanol groups. When silanes are used as coupling agents they should form a stable bond with another organic or inorganic material that would react forming a mixed silane layer.…”
