Discovering Stable Amorphous Ceramics: From Computational Prediction to Thin‐Film Synthesis

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 32, August 14, 2025.
This work presents a computationally guided approach to discovering stable amorphous ceramics, using yttrium tungsten nitride (Y‐W‐N) as a prototype. By combining first‐principles random structure sampling with thin‐film synthesis, the authors identify and experimentally realize previously unreported amorphous nitrides, demonstrating their exceptional ...

Oxidation Behavior of Vanadium in Annealed AlCrVY(O)N Thin Films Characterized by X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy

physica status solidi (a), Volume 222, Issue 14, July 2025.
The average oxidation state of V in AlCrVY(O)N thin films deposited by a hybrid dcMS/HiPIMS method with different O2 flow rates is investigated. X‐ray near‐edge absorption spectroscopy is used to determine the average oxidation states after annealing up to 925 °C.

An Inverted Magnetron Operating in HiPIMS Mode [PDF]

Plasma, 2018
An ionized physical vapor deposition technique for thin ferromagnetic films is proposed. The technique is based on high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) with positive discharge polarity. A gapped-target was employed as the cathode of the magnetron.

A Physically Based Model for Non‐Point Source Pollutant Wash‐Off Process Over Impervious Surfaces

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Physically based urban wash‐off modeling presents a promising approach for investigating the dynamics of road‐deposited sediments (RDS) and the associated pollutants during rainfall events. This paper proposes a novel physically based model to predict urban wash‐off process over impervious surfaces, where raindrop‐induced detachment, flow ...

Tailoring the Electrocatalytic Activity and Corrosion Resistance of CoCrFeNi and MnCrFeNi Thin Films by Anodization

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.
This work presents CoCrFeNi and MnCrFeNi thin films, synthesized by physical vapor deposition as bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts that are corrosion‐resistant in alkaline conditions. After a detailed study of the film structure, the films are tested for oxygen catalysis and are active toward both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction
