Doping nitrogen is beneficial to make the coatings smoother and denser, which leads to the improvement of coating stability. Additionally, the introduced nitrogen can bond with carbon atom by strong covalent bonds and improve the fracture resistance and adhesion of Si-DLC coatings stemming from Si-...

after oxygen. Pure silicon crystals are very rarely found in nature; they can be found as inclusions with gold and in volcanic exhalations. Silicon is usually found in the form of silicon dioxide (also known as quartz), and other more complex silicate minerals...
Silicon dioxide refers to a highly complex compound that exists in various crystalline forms, such as quartz, and is composed of a three-dimensional network of silicon and oxygen atoms. It is commonly used in industrial applications and the manufacturing of quartz watches and glass. ...
Silicon and oxygen occupy 75% of the earth's crust,of which silicon alone is 27.7%. Silica, which occurs tothe extent of 60 to 80% as insoluble quartz silica, is in theform of mono-silicic acid [Si(OH)4], the availability ofwhich increases with increasing soil pH and temperature....
and in turn the mechanical properties of the Si-C-M system, where M stands for transition metal, can be modified depending on the C-M bond strength and the ratio of C/M atomic radii59. In this case the atoms are attracted by the mixture of covalent, ionic and metal bonds. Depending ...
First of all, Si has a high bond strength with N (470 kJ·mol−1 [17]), which ensures that it is easily incorporated into Zn3N2 as a dopant. Secondly, Si has sp3 hybridized electron orbital, which tends to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds with oxygen and nitrogen 2p ...
Silicon is the second most abundant element in the earth’s crust (after oxygen), its content in the lithosphere being 29.5 by weight. Silicon plays as important a role in the earth’s crust as carbon in animals and plants. The exceptionally strong bond between silicon and oxygen is of gre...
Synthesis of preceramic polymers generally includes a curing interval during which a preceramic composition must "set" before being amenable to pyrolysis to a ceramic material. This curing period can be slow, incorporate undesired elements such as excess oxygen and can significantly reduce the efficiency...
Carbon is the basis of vegetable and animal life, the central element of organic chemistry. Silicon dominates in the inorganic world of rocks. Inorganic silicon compounds such as silica and silicates make up most of the rocks of the earth's crust. Next to oxygen, silicon is the most abundant...
