Low-temperature (<; 10 eV) plasmas with densities varying over a very wide range from 10
13 m-3 at the lower end to as high as 10 23 m-3 have firmly established themselves as one …

Titanium alloys are widely used in implantology however they do not possess sufficient
tribological properties to work a treat on high load-bearing medical applications. Deposition …

The dense plasma focus (DPF), a coaxial plasma gun, utilizes pulsed high current electrical
discharge to heat and compress the plasma to very high density and temperature with …

This paper considers the modern level of technique, research, and application of “plasma
focus” facilities in the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A description of the …

Metal oxide coatings on VT6 titanium alloy were formed by plasma spraying of aluminum
oxide powder and subsequent microarc oxidation at a current density from 1 to 3 kA/m 2. As …

In this study we present the effect of negative bias applied to substrate and the pressure on
the properties of TiC films (ie structure, Raman spectroscopy, electrical resistivity and …

Non-alloyed steels are very popular in a wide range of applications due to their low cost, but
unfortunately, they are not favorable to surface enhancement by nitriding process because …

Synthesis of hydrocarbon-vanadium thin films by a low energy plasma focus device is
reported. The thin films have organometallic structure and organometallic trovacenyl …

The present work demonstrates that conductive carbon paint, used for sample preparation in
electron microscopy, can be a more straightforward and as-effective substitute for the …

TiZrMoC coatings were deposited on Si (100) substrates using a DC dual magnetron
sputtering. The composition was controlled by adjusting the sputtering parameters of the …
