Dielectric breakdown of alumina thin films produced by pulsed direct current magnetron sputtering (2018)
Journal Article
Hanby, B. V., Stuart, B. W., Grant, C., Moffat, J., Blissett, J., Gerada, C., …Grant, D. M. (2018). Dielectric breakdown of alumina thin films produced by pulsed direct current magnetron sputtering. Thin Solid Films, 662, 145-154. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tsf.2018.07.004

Alumina films (~2 μm thick) were deposited with a mixed Cu/Al interlayer onto copper. Direct current (DC)/Pulsed DC (PDC) magnetron sputtering techniques were independently compared for reactive alumina sputtering. In DC sputtered films, elemental al...

A review of the environmental impact of nanomaterial synthesis using continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis (2018)
Journal Article
Caramazana, P., Dunne, P., Gimeno-Fabra, M., McKechnie, J., & Lester, E. (2018). A review of the environmental impact of nanomaterial synthesis using continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis. Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry, 12, 57-62. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogsc.2018.06.016

Continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis (CFHS) is an emerging process technology for the manufacture of nanomaterials. Recent work has been undertaken to establish the green ‘credentials’ of CFHS amongst alternative techniques for nanosynthesis. In th...
