Functional Zr, {\alpha}-Ta, and ({\alpha}-\b{eta}) Ta thick coatings obtained by original arc-evaporator

Abstract

Novel plasma-clustered deposition technique, called PVD Droplets, as well as its main principles of operation were described. New types of obtained thick, over 20 {\mu}m, functional coatings basing on Ta and Zr have been presented. Results of research in physic-chemical properties of the coating materials are listed including preliminary studies of superconductive properties. Comparative evaluation between of obtained coatings and sample CVD coating was made.
