In-Situ Plasma Monitoring during the Pulsed Laser Deposition of Ni60Ti40 Thin Films

Abstract

The properties of pulsed laser deposited of Ni60Ti40 shape memory thin films generated in various deposition conditions were investigated. In-situ plasma monitoring was implemented by means of space- and time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy, and ICCD fast camera imaging. Structural and chemical analyses were performed on the thin films using SEM, AFM, EDS, and XRD equipment. The deposition parameters influence on the chemical composition of the thin films was investigated. The peeled layer presented on DSC a solid-state transformation in a different transformation domain compared to the target properties. A fractal model was used to describe the dynamics of laser produced plasma through various non-differentiable functionalities. Through hydrodynamic type regimes, space-time homographic transformations were correlated with the global dynamics of the ablation plasmas. Spatial simultaneity of homographic transformation through a special SL(2R) invariance implies the description of plasma dynamics through Riccati type equations, establishing correlations with the optical emission spectroscopy measurements.

Manifest/Non-Manifest Drug Release Patterns from Polysaccharide Based Hydrogels—Case Study on Cyclodextrin—κ Carrageenan Crosslinked Hydrogels

“…In the last phases of release, the system evolves finally to a cvasi-chaotic state ( Figure 6 d), ending with a damped oscillatory behavior ( Figure 6 e). The in/out jump from the cvasi-chaotic state to steady one implies that chaos is not specific to the release dynamics, while the other oscillatory type behaviors, i.e., simple, modulated, or damped oscillations, are more probable in the small-scale release scenarios [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ].…”

Galvanic Corrosion of Ductile Cast Iron Coupled with Different Alloys in Synthetic Domestic Waste Water

“…Among these on can evidences: the difference in electrode potentials of the individual partner of the couple, the quality of the electrical connection between the metals, the conductivity of the electrolyte, area ratio of the two electrodes, their configuration (i.e., the distance between the dissimilar metals), aeration, metallurgical composition and stifling effects due to the diminishing rate of diffusion of oxygen through the electrolyte and through films of corrosion product to cathode regions. Similar studies were performed on different type of materials, according to their use [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”
