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

open access: yesAIP 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 ...

A comparison between DCMS, HiPIMS and a novel ‘HiPIMS+Kick’ deposition for piezoelectric thin-films [PDF]

open access: yes2019 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2019
High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) has been shown to improve optical and semi-conductor thin-film coatings through increased density [1], crystallinity and more control over deposition parameters [2]. Here, HiPIMS and, a new technique, HiPIMS + ‘Kick’ are investigated in relation to deposited piezoelectric coatings and compared with a ...

A Laminating Strategy to Manyfold Enhance the Elastic Stretchability of Stretchable Electronics. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
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.

Enhanced Oxygen-Reaction Electrocatalysis and Corrosion Resistance of CoCrFeNi Thin Films by Tuned Microstructure and Surface Oxidation. [PDF]

open access: yesSmall Sci
This work presents CoCrFeNi thin films, synthesized by physical vapor deposition as bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts that are corrosion resistant in alkaline conditions. The film microstructure is tuned by ion acceleration (substrate bias) during deposition and the film's surfaces are oxidized electrochemically by anodization.
