“…Based on this consideration, rapid solidification [10], mechanical alloying [11][12][13] and physical vapor deposition [14][15][16][17][18] are regarded as effective ways which can synthesize different metastable phases with homogeneous component distribution in immiscible alloy systems. During past decades, magnetron sputtering has been widely used to prepare homogeneous thin films of immiscible alloys [19][20][21].…”

Binary immiscible Al-Sn alloy is a very important potential anode material for lithium ion batteries. The phase stability and separation process of Al-Sn film, fabricated by magnetron co-sputtering method, was investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and explained by Miedema theoretical model. Thermodynamic analysis reveals that the asdeposited Al-Sn film will decompose spontaneously into Al-riched areas and Sn-riched areas because of the positive mixing enthalpy. The crystallization process takes place when the Al content in the Al-riched area or Sn content in the Sn-riched area increases. Experimental results show that Al-Sn thin film is composed of an amorphous matrix and well-dispersed composite nanoparticles. Every particle contains an Al-riched area and a Sn-riched area. The Snriched area crystallizes and swallows up the Al-riched area gradually during heating through uphill diffusion of the Sn atoms. Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental results, an empirical model to explain the phase evolution process in the Al-Sn film was proposed.

This chapter describes the functionalization of the surface of the glass through thin film inorganic coatings. Such filters called dichroic filters, following the physical principle of interference of light using the rules of optical physics. The design of the optical multilayer materials with high and low refractive index and optimizing the predetermined optical responses. The AFM quantify the real thickness and, calibrate the deposition plant, using as an input data for the simulation to evaluate the dispersion index refraction and absorption. The dichroic filters separate the incident radiation into two or more predetermined optical bands. The materials used are deposited using PVD Reactive Magnetron Sputtering, allows to increase the deposition rate, to obtain good homogeneity range of the surface deposited. The set point of deposition which allows to obtain stoichiometric oxides is analyzed with the technique RBS. These optical filters, also called dichroic are applied in the research field of the splitting photovoltaic concentration.
