Comparison of magnetron sputtering systems for high-rate deposition of thick copper layers for microelectronic applications by M. V. Nazarenko

“…When designing production equipment for the implementation of metal film deposition processes, the selection of technological sources for providing the required quality (structure, appearance), maximum process efficiency, and productivity, poses a challenging task. Since laboratory results often differ from issues faced in production processes, this choice becomes even more difficult under real production conditions due to a lack of sources for comparison. …”

Electrochemical diffusion signatures of solid-solution and phase-separating active materials in Li-ion batteries by Marco Lagnoni, Antonio Bertei

“…The working principle of lithium-ion batteries lies in the intercalation of lithium ions in electrode active materials, which exhibit either solid-solution or phase-separating behaviour. This study presents a comparative analysis of the electrochemical responses of these two classes of active materials using a multi-particle phase-field model, the structure and description of which are designed to promote easy interpretation by non-modelling experts. …”
