Fabrication and characterization of Si1−xGex nanocrystals in as-grown and annealed structures: a comparative study

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2019
Multilayer structures comprising of SiO2/SiGe/SiO2 and containing SiGe nanoparticles were obtained by depositing SiO2 layers using reactive direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS), whereas, Si and Ge were co-sputtered using dcMS and high-power impulse

Effect of magnetron configuration on the spatial distribution of sputtered species in high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) plasmas

Vacuum
This study examines the two-dimensional (2D) spatial distribution of the ionized flux fraction (IFF) and total flux of sputtered species in a non-reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering discharge for a peak current density of ≈1.3 A/cm2. Five magnetic configurations of the magnetron cathode, ranging from highly unbalanced to highly balanced ...

A Laminating Strategy to Manyfold Enhance the Elastic Stretchability of Stretchable Electronics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
We propose a laminating strategy that laminates a thick‐polymer layer onto the thin‐ribbon metallic structure. Using serpentine structures on soft and hard substrates as representative cases, this approach increases elastic stretchability by 3.5‐fold and 2.3‐fold.

Heavy species dynamics in high power impulse magnetron sputtering discharges

, 2019
The energy and the composition of the film forming species strongly influence the properties of the films being deposited. In HiPIMS, the film forming material consists of neutral atoms sputtered off the target and its ions.

Ionization mechanism in the high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharge

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2008
The ionization mechanism and the temporal behavior of the plasma parameters in a high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) discharge are investigated using a time dependent global (volume averaged) model. The metal ion fraction and the ionized flux fraction are shown to be very high, the sputtered metal is almost fully ionized.

Influence of Metal Oxide Interface Layers on the Thermochromic Properties of VO2 Thin Films Deposited by Magnetron Sputtering

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 4, 17 February 2026.
This study investigates the thermochromic properties of VO2 deposited on aluminum doped zinc oxide precoated fused silica with Al2O3, TiO2, and WO3 as interface layers. The results indicate that the metal‐to‐insulator transition is highly influenced by the grains formed at the interface.
