11. Toward Energy-efficient Physical Vapor Deposition : Routes for Replacing Substrate Heating during Magnetron Sputtering by Employing Metal Ion Irradiation
Abstract : In this Thesis, magnetron sputtering is perfected as an environmental-friendly deposition technique. I performed systematic studies of a novel approach - hybrid high-power impulse and dc magnetron co-sputtering (HiPIMS/DCMS) with metal-ion-synchronized substrate bias pulses. READ MORE

12. Self Lubrication on the Atomic Scale : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Coatings
Abstract : In this thesis a new design concept of tribologically active coatings aimed for low friction applications, have been explored. Materials modeled by ab initio DFT calculations were realized through deposition of carbide and nanocomposite coatings by DC-magnetron sputtering. READ MORE

13. Carbide and MAX-Phase Engineering by Thin Film Synthesis
Abstract : This thesis reports on the development of low-temperature processes for transition metal carbide and MAX-phase thin film growth. Magnetron sputtering and evaporation, far from thermodynamical equilibrium, have been utilised to engineer the properties of the films by physical and chemical control. READ MORE

14. Metallic materials for solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysers - Mitigating high temperature corrosion
Abstract : Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are high-temperature energy conversion devices that have great potential due to their high efficiency, low operating costs, and flexibility. SOCs can produce electricity from a variety of fuels as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and they can convert electricity to fuels as solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOECs). READ MORE

15. Formation and Function of Low-Friction Tribofilms
Abstract : The use of low-friction coatings on machine elements is steadily increasing, and they are expected to play an important role in the reduction of fuel consumption of future motorized vehicles. Many low-friction coatings function by transformation of the outermost coating layer into tribofilms, which then cover the coating surface and its counter surface. READ MORE
