Application

  • Controlling the rate of degradation of Mg using magnesium fluoride and magnesium fluoride-magnesium phosphate duplex coatings: This study discusses coatings that control the degradation rate of magnesium, which could be crucial in biomedical applications such as bioresorbable implants (K Ravichandran, SN TSN, 2022).
  • Electroforming-Free Bipolar Resistive Switching Memory Based on Magnesium Fluoride: Discusses the development of resistive switching memory devices using magnesium fluoride, focusing on their applications in non-volatile memory technology (NC Das et al., 2021).
  • Supercontinuum generation for optical coherence tomography using magnesium fluoride photonic crystal fiber: Explores the use of magnesium fluoride in photonic crystal fibers to enhance supercontinuum generation, which is crucial for improving optical coherence tomography (A Ghanbari et al., 2017).
