Project description
 

The project is devoted to study of the fundamental aspects of RF-magnetron sputter deposition of calcium phosphate coatings.The goal is to establish the relationship between the deposition parameters (such as discharge power, chamber pressure, gas atmosphere and substrate temperature) and the CaPfilms properties. The combination of both thin film and plasma characterisation allows to elucidatecoatings growth mechanisms.
