Si-doped DLC films have attracted great attention for use in tribological applications.
However, their high-temperature tribological properties remain less investigated, especially in …

Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP‑1) is a member of the zinc‑dependent endopeptidase family,
which cleaves the extracellular matrix. The present study investigated the functional role …

The microstructural evolution of Cr–Si–N films deposited by a hybrid arc ion plating and
magnetron sputtering process was investigated by varying the sputtering power of Si target and …

It is critical to utilize the substrate bias voltage to attract the sputtered ions in high power
impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) plasmas which contain a large amount of target ion …

Ternary Mo–Cu–N coatings with various Cu contents were deposited on Si wafers and AISI
304 substrates by magnetron co-sputtering from two elemental targets of Mo and Cu in Ar–N …
