Abstract: A model of the sputtering process has been developed that predicts the deposition rate of a sputtering system with parallel-plate geometry. By using data for sputtering yield vs voltage ...

The new PLS 500 High-Vacuum Laboratory System, available from Hudson, N.H.-based Balzers, can be used for a variety of applications, including PVD processes such as E-beam evaporation, ion-beam ...

Predicting the lifetime of an electric ion thruster is notoriously difficult. You have to account for the chamber wall ...

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 ...

Chemists from Würzburg have developed a novel model system for selective ion transport. The system, composed of a stable double layer with a nanographene-confined cavity, demonstrates high selectivity ...

In 2024, seven vehicles in western China each transmitted a high-powered microwave beam that converged precisely in both time ...

Weekend travelers must steer clear of the Capital Beltway Inner Loop along Tysons in Virginia these next few days, as the “Big Beam Weekend” road project comes underway. The Virginia ...

Walmart is doubling down on its grocery business as more consumers are turning to the company for their food needs amid lingering inflation. The nation's largest retailer reported in the prior ...

The Cincinnati Bengals capped off their late-season, five-game win streak by eking out a 19-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night. The Bengals (9-8) now will await results from ...
