High power magnetron sputtering techniques have become essential tools in the deposition of advanced thin films. By utilising high power pulses, these methods generate highly ionised plasmas that ...

Thin films play a crucial role in the fabrication of several components and devices, such as protective coatings, integrated circuits, solar cells, and optical ...

Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

A one-step plasma sputtering method for fabricating silicon/tin nanowire anodes could open doors to next-generation lithium-ion batteries Many countries have set decarbonization targets to meet the ...

Modifying surfaces by shooting particles at them - this technique, called 'sputtering', is indispensable in surface science. However, if the surface is not perfectly smooth and regular, it is hard to ...

Growth temperature is a critical parameter determining the sheet carrier density of scandium aluminum nitride (ScAlN)-based heterostructures, grown using the sputtering technique. Gallium nitride (GaN ...

A research team from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has demonstrated an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method within a lower temperature process to apply a buffering layer of tin oxide (SnOx ...
