Tailoring the Hybrid Magnetron Sputtering Process (HiPIMS and dcMS) to Manufacture Ceramic Multilayers: Powering Conditions, Target Materials, and Base Layers

Nanomaterials, 2022
The mechanical and wear behavior of CrN/CrAlN multilayers were improved by tailoring the experimental conditions of a hybrid magnetron sputtering process based on a high-power impulse (HiPIMS) and two direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) power ...

Technical note: A fast and robust integrator of delay differential equations in DCM for electrophysiological data

NeuroImage, 2021
Dynamic causal models (DCMs) of electrophysiological data allow, in principle, for inference on hidden, bulk synaptic function in neural circuits. The directed influences between the neuronal elements of modeled circuits are subject to delays due to the ...

Comparison of thrusts imparted by a magnetron sputtering source operated in DC and high power impulse modes

AIP Advances, 2021
The thrusts induced by the 45-mm-diameter DC and high power impulse magnetron sputtering [DC magnetron sputtering (DCMS) and high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS)] sources are assessed by using the pendulum thrust balance, where the ...
