Aluminum (and its alloys)
- giovedì 11 febbraio 2021
Aluminum, although not many know it, is a metal with extraordinary properties. It does not exist in nature in the metallic state, but always in the form of compounds, the best known of which is Bauxite, in which it is contained in the form of oxides and hydroxides.
The absolute emptiness
- venerdì 4 dicembre 2020
Absolute emptiness is the absence of matter in space. How many particles are present in the small UHV chambers used in laboratories? We asked ourselves this question in this article!
Oils in pumping systems for vacuum plants
- venerdì 23 ottobre 2020
In pumping systems for vacuum plants,, it is common to use rotary vane pumps. In these machines, the oil has important functions for the correct functioning of the machine.
Eliminate the water in a vacuum chamber by freezing it: is it possible?
- giovedì 8 ottobre 2020
The management of the "water load" in vacuum processing always represents a problem due to the molecular composition of the water. The use of cryogenic systems can help the elimination of the water present in vacuum deposition systems.
Vacuum: why?
- lunedì 6 luglio 2020
Vaccum processing needs the presencence of a particular environment. But why is a reduced pressure environment necessary and what are the pressures used in the vacuum technique? This are the reasons.
Stainless steel: why?
- lunedì 22 giugno 2020
If you have ever seen a machine for vacuum treatments, you will have noticed that the chamber in which the processing is carried out and a large part of the rest of the plant was made of stainless steel. But why, in these particular scientific and technological applications, is this material used? What are the advantages it offers (and what are the possible disadvantages)?
Magnetron Sputtering
- lunedì 9 settembre 2019
Magnetron sputtering has developed rapidly over the last twenty years, following the increasing industrial demand for high-quality functional films. Today, magnetron sputtering often outperforms other techniques used for the deposition of coatings of industrial interest.
Thin Films in everyday life
- mercoledì 26 giugno 2019
A brief description about how thin films have found application in everyday life.
The Role of Thin Film in Optical Field
- mercoledì 19 giugno 2019
Thin film coatings has found applications in mirrors, microscopy, photo catalysis, photovoltaic, solar cells, switches, lenses, microelectronics, etc.Optical thin films involves the interaction of electromagnetic radiation, at different wavelengths, with a deposited functional layer.
Vacuum Deposition Technologies
- lunedì 17 giugno 2019
Wide set of processes which are used by industry to deposit thin films, with a wide range of compositions and purposes, over substrate with largely variable composition, taking advantage of a high-vacuum environment.
