Deposition of Composite Magneto-Dielectric Coatings Using Fore-Vacuum Plasma-Cathode Electron Source

Abstract

We present the work aimed at the research of deposition of composite functional ferrite-type (high magnetic permeability coupled with low electrical conductivity) coatings on the surface of various metals and alloys. Such technology increases mechanical properties (hardness, wear resistance, impact resistance), and is attractive to be used, for example, in the development of radar-absorbing coatings. Research on the deposition methods and properties of such coatings is an interesting and relevant problem at the junction of charged particle accelerators physics, low-temperature plasmas, and materials science.
