Chemically Stable Group IV-V Transition Metal Carbide Thin Films in Hydrogen Radical Environments
Abdul Rehman, Robbert W. E. van de Kruijs, Wesley T. E. van den Beld +2
Hydrogen is playing a crucial role in the green energy transition. Yet, its tendency to react with and diffuse into surrounding materials poses a challenge. Therefore, it is critic…
Work-Function-Dependent Reduction of Transition Metal Nitrides in Hydrogen Environments
Abdul Rehman, Robbert W. E. van de Kruijs, Wesley T. E. van den Beld +2
Amidst the growing importance of hydrogen in a sustainable future, it is crucial to develop coatings that can protect hydrogen-sensitive system components in reactive hydrogen envi…
Structural pathways for ultrafast melting of optically excited thin polycrystalline Palladium films
Jerzy Antonowicz, Adam Olczak, Klaus Sokolowski-Tinten +28
Due to its extremely short timescale, the non-equilibrium melting of metals is exceptionally difficult to probe experimentally. The knowledge of melting mechanisms is thus based ma…
