Combined Ramp and Squeeze at the Large Hadron Collider

In the first two years of operation of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the betatron squeeze has been carried out at constant flat top energy of 3.5 TeV. Squeeze setting functions are separated from the energy ramp functions. This ensured a maximum fl ...

Biomimetic soft lithography on curved nanostructured surfaces

Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Kiefer, Valentin Flauraud, Vaida Auzelyte

In this paper a nano-molding process using a nature-created master is demonstrated. The eye of night moth Agotis Exclamationis having 100 nm-scale structures on a curved surface is used as biomimetic master mold from which nanostructures are replicated ont ...

Correlation between anionic substitution and structural properties in AlCr(OxN1-x) coatings deposited by lateral rotating cathode arc PVD

Alireza Karimi, Hossein Najafi

The influence of oxygen content on the properties of cathodic arc-deposited AlCr(OxN1-x) coatings has been studied. All samples were prepared in a nitrogen-rich mixture of N-2 and O-2 at 550 degrees C using lateral rotating arc cathodes (LARC) technology t ...

Plasma Spray-CVD: A New Thermal Spray Process to Produce Thin Films from Liquid or Gaseous Precursors

Christoph Hollenstein, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Malko Gindrat

New dedicated coating processes which are based on the well-known LPPS (TM) technology but operating at lower work pressure (100 Pa) are being actively developed. These hybrid technologies contribute to improve the efficiencies in the turbine industry such ...
