A variety of bioactive composites have been investigated over the last two decades as
substitute materials for diseased or damaged tissues in the human body. In this paper, the …

Since 1940 s, zirconium alloys have been one of the main structural materials for
manufacturing nuclear fuel claddings of water-cooled reactors. Their functional properties …

The review summarizes high-energy processing techniques applied for additive
manufacturing and surface engineering of cemented carbides and cermets, including laser …

One important recent trend in deposition technology is the continuous expansion of
available processes towards higher ion assistance with the subsequent beneficial effects to …

Cantilevers of atomic force microscope (AFM) have been uniformly coated with gold and
platinum thin films. These films are nanostructured with thickness between 18 and 73 nm …

Recent developments in plasma assisted physical vapour deposition (PAPVD) processes
are reviewed. A short section on milestones in advances in PAPVD covering the time period …

The electrocatalytic behavior of boron-doped nanoporous honeycomb diamond films
modified with Pt nanoparticles (10–150 nm) was examined with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and …

The vacuum arc ion source has evolved over the past 20 years into a standard laboratory
tool for the production of high current beams of metal ions, and is now used in a number of …

A new deposition method, by combining standard magnetron sputtering and ion
implantation, has been developed. Some characteristics of the layers produced by this …

We have used silicon and glass as substrate for gold and platinum thin films deposition. The
film thickness are between 40 and 440 nm for gold and between 26 and 220 nm for …
