Functional Persistent Luminescent Thin Films and Glasses: Materials, Processing, and Future Challenges

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 16, 24 April 2026.
Beyond conventional powders, persistent luminescent thin films and glass‐based composites offer transformative potential for transparent, stable photonic devices. This work evaluates diverse processing routes and structure‐property correlations essential for achieving optical transparency and environmental stability.

Reactive HiPIMS of oxides for optical coatings

, 2022
S.121-130ZrO2, TiO2 and Al2O3 thin films were deposited by reactive High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) by the use of a linear double magnetron. For reactive HiPIMS deposition from metallic targets, a partial pressure gas control was used to

Effect of atomic ordering on the magnetic anisotropy of single crystal Ni80Fe20

AIP Advances, 2019
We investigate the effect of atomic ordering on the magnetic anisotropy of Ni80Fe20 at.% (Py). To this end, Py films were grown epitaxially on MgO(001) using dc magnetron sputtering (dcMS) and high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS).

Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Carbide Interlayers: Chemical, Optical, and Tribological Behavior for Improving Adhesion of Carbon‐Based Films to Ferrous Alloy

Surface and Interface Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 246-261, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Diamond‐like carbon thin films have been gaining attention in the last years due to their unique properties, such as low friction coefficient and high wear resistance. However, the lack of adhesion between DLC coatings and ferrous alloys complicates their wider industrial application.

Designing Defect Structure and Interfacial Strain in an Epitaxial VN Bilayer Film by Tailoring N Concentration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 4, 17 February 2026.
The N concentration in an epitaxial VN bilayer is tailored from overstoichiometric V0.49N0.51 to understoichiometric V0.56N0.44. Based on ab initio, diffraction, and microscopy data, the overstoichiometric V0.49N0.51 layer contains V vacancies, N Frenkel pairs, and a high density of dislocations.
