Magnetron sputtering is a plasma-based Physical Vapor Deposition technique for synthesis
of surface coatings. In the present survey, we have summarized and discussed in detail both …

A comprehensive survey of the literature in the area of numerical heat transfer (NHT)
published between 2000 and 2009 has been conducted. Due to the immenseness of the …

A key obstacle in reducing temperature loss is ohmic loss, which could be lowered by the
use of thin electrolytes in electrochemical devices and thus various thin film processing …

The radiosity view factor model commonly used in radiation heat transfer and computer
graphics is applied to a free-molecular flow problem. This paper extends the model to …

Abstract The Test Particle Monte Carlo is a known method to solve the steady state
Boltzmann particle transport equation in rarefied gas systems. A description of the Test …

We present our open-source code SMARTA. It can be used to compute internal and external
collisionless gas flows when surface reflections are fully diffuse and gas sources are …

Free molecule regime is found in many problems, and of particular interest is a transport of
gas in high vacuum in space or inside a vacuum chamber. These problems are traditionally …

La qualité des dispositifs électroniques et photoniques dépend de celle des matériaux qui
les composent. Certains des ces matériaux sont des couches minces crûes par épitaxie, une …

This research endeavors to better understand the physical vapor deposition (PVD) vapor
transport process by determining the most appropriate fluidic model to design PVD coating …

Fe/Si 3 N 4 composite powder was synthesized by the heterogeneous precipitation-thermal
reduction process, and then pressed into flakes under a pressure of 10 MPa. Flakes were …
