PVD is the most important coating process to produce thin layers of materials. Used for architectural or smart glass, displays, touch panels and solar cells, thin layers provide crucial properties for ...

Sputtering targets are the source materials for the preparation of sputtered thin films. In particular, high-purity sputtering targets are used in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process for the ...

Definition: Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a sophisticated coating technology widely used to deposit thin films of materials onto various substrates. This technique involves the physical ...

The Coordinated Research Project on "Data for surface composition dynamics relevant to erosion processes" is organized to increase understanding of erosion processes in fusion devices, such as ITER.

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