Effect of Hafnium on Nickel-Titanium based Thin Film Coating by DC/RF Magnetron Sputtering Technique
Abstract: Ni-Ti-Hf films as shape memory alloys were successfully prepared by magnetron sputtering technique using individual Ti, Ni and Hf targets. The hafnium content was varied from 6% to 30% and the required film composition was achieved by adjusting the power ratio to the targets. The as-deposited films were amorphous; a post deposition annealing was performed at 700 °C to crystallize the Ni-Ti-Hf films. Structural, compositional and phase-transformation studies were carried …

Sputter Deposition of Ni/Ti Thin Film and their Molecular Dynamics
Abstract: Ni/Ti multilayer fabricated using DC/RF magnetron sputtering technique. Multilayer of Ni/Ti is deposited by alternate deposition of nickel layer and titanium layer, followed by annealing at different temperatures. Annealing treatment is carried out to achieve NiTi SMA thin films. The annealing was accompanied by inter-diffusion, amorphization and precipitation of various intermetallic phases. Classical molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for the atomic diffusion during annealing of Ni/Ti multilayer using embedded …

Thin Film Technology in Sensor Manufacturing – A Technical Discussion
Abstract: Thin‑film technology has become the cornerstone of modern sensor manufacturing, enabling the convergence of miniaturisation, multifunctionality, and cost‑effective mass production. This paper surveys the latest advances in deposition techniques—ranging from magnetron sputtering and chemical vapour deposition to atomic‑layer deposition (ALD) and ink‑jet‑printed sol‑gel processes—and examines how their unique material‑control capabilities translate into performance gains across the sensor spectrum (chemical, physical, and bio‑sensing). By integrating nanoscale thickness control (≤ 10 nm) …

Nanostructured Cr-WS2 Solid Lubricant Coating for Space Applications
Abstract: Abstract Tungsten disulphide (WS2) is one of the widely used intrinsic low friction materials, which is commonly used in the form of coating. WS2 offers very low coefficient of friction only in non humid conditions. Presence of humidity destroys this property and restricts its utility. Modifying the structure of WS2 by adding certain metals helps in overcoming this limitation and in addition improves the mechanical properties. Further, deposition technique and …
