While various crystalline carbon allotropes, including graphene, have been actively
investigated, amorphous carbon (a‐C) thin films have received relatively little attention. The …

This review summarizes the more-than-25-years of development of the so-called thermionic
vacuum arc (TVA). TVA is an anodic arc discharge in vapors of the material to be deposited; …

The present work is focused on the micro-structural, antibacterial potential and corrosion
resistance of silver (Ag) doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings deposited by …

Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) films on C/C composite substrate were prepared by isothermal
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) as precursor. The …

The manuscript is focused on corrosion behavior of a Cr coating under CANada Deuterium
Uranium (CANDU) primary circuit conditions. The Cr coating is obtained via the thermionic …

The thermionic vacuum discharge method is very effective in that the films obtained using
this technology are characterised by a very high degree of adhesion, density and purity …

SiOC and SiCaMgOC coatings were prepared by sol–gel method from precursors of
hydrosilane and the mixture of hydrosilane, calcium acetylacetonate (Ca (acac) 2) and …

The paper aim is to compare corrosion and antibacterial characterization of a new
CoCrNbMoZr alloy before and after coating with diamond‐like carbon‐Ag (Ag‐DLC) …

Carbon nanostructures were obtained by acetylene injection into an argon plasma jet in the
presence of hydrogen. The samples were synthesized in similar conditions, except that the …

The paper's aim is the assessment of corrosion behaviour of a CrNx-coated 310 H stainless
steel under simulated supercritical water conditions (550° C and 25 MPa) for up to 2160 h …
