Structural characterisation and degradation of Mg–Li thin films for biodegradable implants

Abstract Freestanding thin films of Mg–Li (magnesium–lithium) alloys with a Li mass fraction between 1.6% (m/m) and 9.5% (m/m) were prepared and studied with respect to their structure and degradation properties. With increasing Li content, the microstructure deviates from hexagonal Mg–Li with stric...
