## Abstract Although ceramics are used for many different biomedical applications they are brittle materials that can be compromised by surface defects when under stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface modification with an yttriaβstabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin fil

Abstract
Effect of thickness of the conductive coating on performance of the microstrip reflectarray is investigated. The unit cell used in this article is in the form of a cross shaped ring. Dimensions of the utilized cell are chosen such that it resonates at the Xβband. The simulated and measured results show that increasing thickness of the conductive layer decreases the losses significantly, reduces the phase slope and shifts the resonant frequency to a higher value, while it has a negligible effect on the phase range.

The shuttle heat transfer is one of the reasons reducing the performance of Stirling engines. This study is concerned with the reduction in shuttle heat transfer by coating the displacer. The displacer of a gamma type Stirling engine was coated with a layer of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and t
## Abstract In this paper, the effects of the thickness of silicon substrate with backside metalization on inductor performance are investigated, and the experimental results show that thinner substrate with backside metalization results in smaller inductance, lower quality factor, and slightly hig
## Abstract In this paper, two different uniform photonic bandβgap (PBG) structures used as stopband filters for microstrip lines at 5.4 GHz are proposed and compared in terms of the pattern shapes' effect on the Sβparameters. This suggests the use of a 1D pattern to reduce the transversal size of
