Metal nanoparticles with a precisely controlled particle size distribution are ideal model catalysts for fundamental studies in catalysis. In this work, the thermal stability of size-selected Cu nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were deposited by magnetron sputtering ...
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium-doped DLC coatings were prepared by hybrid PECVD/direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS). In this study, we show that the operating conditions of titanium-doped DLC coatings used for implants in surgical devices si ...
In this study, photoactive CuxO/TiO2 coatings were prepared using magnetron sputtering operated at different powers and modes (Direct-current magnetron sputtering and High Power Impulse magnetron sputtering). Indoor/outdoor air pollutions (Volatile Organic ...
Thin film coatings are ubiquitous in modern daily lives, from the semi-conductor industry to aesthetic applications, and rely on the modification of a given material to enhance its surface properties.
At CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), t ...
In the present study, we propose a new photocatalytic interface prepared by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), and investigated for the degradation of Reactive Green 12 (RG12) as target contaminant under visible light light-emitting diodes ( ...
This study deals with the impact of spatio-temporal heterogeneities on the assessment of lake ecological status according to the European water framework directive (WFD). A method, based on three-dimensional coupled hydrodynamic and ecological modeling, is ...
Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are semiconductor-like materials that exhibit high electrical conductivity and high optical transparency combined. They are adopted in various applications ranging from gas sensors, to electrochromic windows, to photovo ...
