Nanocomposite coatings composed of two phases with atomically sharp phase boundaries, show interesting mechanical properties. These properties are often originating from their high interface to volume ratio. Composites of nanocrystalline titanium nitride ( ...
Oxynitride thin films, a novel class of mixed anionic solid structures, have gained an intense interest during recent years related to the unique interplay of oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) with metals in the material structure. This matter can result in spec ...
Silicon (Si) and yttrium (Y) are believed to have a strong influence on functional properties of oxynitrides due to their effects in the growth process and incorporation in solid solution phases. It is worthwhile noting that the presence of these elements ...
Indium was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of silicon nanowires in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. In order to foster the catalytic activity of indium, the indium droplets had to be exposed to a hydrogen plasma prior to nanowire g ...

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 ...
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 ...
The properties of the cluster HenV, an iron vacancy with an increasing number of He atoms, is studied with molecular statics and molecular dynamics simulations. A study of the binding energy of the self-interstitial atom (SIA) and the He, shows that from n ...
Aluminum rich oxynitride thin films were prepared using pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering from an Al95.5Cr2.5Si2 (at.%) target. Two series of films were deposited at 400 degrees C and 650 degrees C by changing the O-2/(O-2 + N-2) ratio in the ...
