We report on the development of several different thin-film functional material systems prepared by RF magnetron sputtering at Edith Cowan University nanofabrication labs. We conduct research on the design, prototyping, and practical fabrication of high-performance magneto-optic (MO) materials, oxide based sensor components, and heat regulation coatings for advanced construction and solar windows.
Thin-film-based smart telemetric sensors coated onto the surface of washers were developed for the measurement of normal forces in screw connections for industrial applications.
