Abstract High-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) of graphite is used to increase the density of the plasma (up to 1013 cm−3) and the fraction of ionization of carbon (up to 70 %). It makes possible to increase the ion bombardment of the growing film by applying a negative high-frequency (HF) bias potential to the substrate ...

Bipolar HiPIMS kick‐pulse for high hardness in high‐entropy boride thin films
Abstract We report a microhardness indentation study for multicomponent refractory metal boride thin films that belong to the family of high‐entropy ceramics exhibiting superior hardness and high temperature properties. We focus on the nominally equimolar composition (Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B2, which we refer to as HEB3, on c‐plane sapphire ...

Modeling the high power impulse magnetron sputtering discharge
Modeling has the possibility to capture the main interacting mechanisms in a plasma discharge, which are typically very difficult to identify (isolate) in experiments. A large variety of computer models describing the plasma behavior in HiPIMS discharges

Among the numerous advantages of the high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique, the most important is the enhanced ionization degree of sputtered species contributing to the film growth. Consequently, the quality of deposited thin films is highly improved.

The nitrogen incorporation effectively mitigates columnar defects in chromium‐based coatings on the Zr alloy claddings. The important significance of chromium‐based coatings is that they are suitable material candidates for accident‐tolerant fuel cladding of nuclear fuel rods.

Oblique angle deposition of nickel thin films by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering
Background: Oblique angle deposition is known for yielding the growth of columnar grains that are tilted in the direction of the deposition flux. Using this technique combined with high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) can induce unique ...

Ion irradiation through a patterned photoresist mask enables in‐plane control of transport and optical properties in CdO thin films. This proof‐of‐concept demonstrates a simple grating pattern of alternating high and low carrier concentrations (irradiated and non‐irradiated) which exhibit sharp optical contrast in the near‐field and surface plasmon ...
