Just a general observation: when your project’s BOM includes ytterbium metal, chances are pretty good that it’s something interesting. We’d say that making your own OLED displays at home definitely ...

Extremely thin films of material are used to make everything from potato chip bags to solar cells, and vapor deposition processes are the common techniques used to make thin layers. Vapor deposition ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Researchers from ten countries assessed the prospects of using vapor-based deposition processes to put perovskite thin film processing on the fast track to commercialization, drawing attention to its ...

The ceramic coating found inside of the Plasma Spray-Physical Vapor Deposition (PS-PVD) at NASA's Glenn Research Center is made when ceramic powder meets plasma flame. The flame vaporizes the powder, ...

Deposition of many important materials such as semi-conductors is performed using energetic jets under low pressure conditions. In addition, materials that have been deposited, such as silicon, are ...

The Evovac consists of five sources; two thermal evaporation sources, an electron beam source, and two sputtering sources (DC & RF). Deposition capabilities include a wide range of metals and oxides.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) are two processes used to produce a very thin layer of material, known as a thin film, onto a substrate. Vapor deposition techniques ...

“You can never be too rich or too thin,” the saying goes, and when it comes to coatings, it’s true that thinner is often better. The way to truly thin coatings, ones that are sometimes only a few ...
