“…From an industrial and production perspective, we have retained deposition methods that are accessible to the research community, the choice of the deposition method strongly relies on the deposited material and the expected optical properties. The main deposition methods used in this study are: thermal evaporation [23], electron-beam evaporation [23][24][25] and magnetron sputtering [26]. The studied materials have been selected according to several parameters such as their optical properties (refractive index n and region of transparency), the availability of the deposition method, the toxicity of the materials, and their cost-effectiveness.…”

We study the potential of common dielectric coating materials used for the fabrication of high reflectance mirrors in micro-cavity devices used in the visible region. We examine materials grown using E-beam and thermal evaporation and magnetron sputtering. The refractive indices and the extinction coefficients of the coatings were calculated from transmission and reflectance spectrophotometric data. The surface roughness of single layer coatings was measured using atomic force microscopy and the scatter of the thin film coatings was approximated from roughness measurements.

“…Readers interested in detailed information about PVD can refer to [30]. Briefly: such process starts with the vaporization of solid metal under vacuum, using high temperature, followed by a rectilinear motion of the vapour atoms in the vacuum chamber and their condensation on the target surface.…”

The use of vacuum metal deposition (VMD) for fingermark detection has been known for almost 40 years. The technique is applicable on a wide variety of substrates and on wetted items. Several publications compare the relative efficiency of VMD (conventionally based on a successive vaporization of gold followed by zinc) with other detection techniques, or its ability to detect marks on difficult substrates, but few are known about the application of monometallic VMDs and about the impact of immersion on the detection performances. This study aims at partially filling that gap by offering a quantitative and qualitative glance at three VMD processes (i.e., gold/zinc, silver, and sterling silver) applied to dry and wetted substrates. The impact of immersion on the detection process has been studied by using split marks (one half kept dry, the other one wetted). On immersed substrates, a modification of colour shades has been observed with monometallic VMDs (on all substrates considered) and of contrast with conventional VMD (on polyethylene). In terms of ridge details, a relatively good resistance of secretion residue towards immersion has been emphasized (in regards with VMD). This study provides original data, which will hopefully help getting a better understanding of the VMD detection mechanism.

“…In particular, this method is commonly applied to the fabrication of anode materials for LIBs [260,261]. In a vacuum chamber, a solid material is heated to a temperature that produces a vapor pressure sufficient to raise a vapor cloud inside the vacuum chamber [262]. Then, these evaporated particles are free to traverse the chamber and stick to a substrate as a film.…”

“…Two main heating sources-resistive filament and electron beam (e-beam) are widely used for heating the source material. Depending on the temperature required for evaporating the material, resistive filament heating is generally used for the materials with the evaporation temperature below 1500 • C, in contrast to the e-beam heating for the materials with the evaporation temperature above 1500 • C [262].…”

All-solid-state batteries (SSBs) are one of the most fascinating next-generation energy storage systems that can provide improved energy density and safety for a wide range of applications from portable electronics to electric vehicles. The development of SSBs was accelerated by the discovery of new materials and the design of nanostructures. In particular, advances in the growth of thin-film battery materials facilitated the development of all solid-state thin-film batteries (SSTFBs)—expanding their applications to microelectronics such as flexible devices and implantable medical devices. However, critical challenges still remain, such as low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes, interfacial instability and difficulty in controlling thin-film growth. In this review, we discuss the evolution of electrode and electrolyte materials for lithium-based batteries and their adoption in SSBs and SSTFBs. We highlight novel design strategies of bulk and thin-film materials to solve the issues in lithium-based batteries. We also focus on the important advances in thin-film electrodes, electrolytes and interfacial layers with the aim of providing insight into the future design of batteries. Furthermore, various thin-film fabrication techniques are also covered in this review.
