AbstractAmorphous, anodic Ta2O5 films of 400 A thickness deposited on deformable polymer substrates deformed by microshear banding even at 5–10% tensile strain. Electron beam evaporated Ta2O5 (EBE) were considerably more brittle in tension on the same substrates, fracturing at strains less than 1%. Even though both films were amorphous to electron diffraction the EBE vibrational spectrum in the Ta2O5 region (900 cm-1 - 400 cm-1) was more reminiscent of thermally oxidized material that appears to have greater microstructural order. A significant dynamic mechanical peak was observed at 60–90°C for both Al and Ta foils coated with either anodic or EBE Ta2O5 films. This process was assigned to relaxation of interfacial stresses induced by atomic motion in the oxide in this temperature range. In the face of the rather similar dynamic mechanical spectra we suspect that the presence of a greater Packing heterogeneity might explain the greater brittleness of the EBE films.

Increasing the reliability requirements for electromagnetic compatibility of electronic equipment requires the creation of protective coatings that absorb electromagnetic radiation or the development of new radio-absorbing materials. In the frequency range up to 1 GHz, radio-absorbing materials based on Ni – Zn ferrites are of the greatest interest. The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by ferrites occurs due to resonant phenomena at the level of domains and atoms. Improving the performance of ferrites is possible by modifying their surface properties. In this paper, gradient structures for electromagnetic radiation protection products are obtained by treating the surface of Ni – Zn ferrite samples with a low-energy electron beam. To generate the electron beam, a unique development was used — a forevacuum plasma electronic source that allows forming and transporting a beam with a power density of up to 105 W/cm2 under conditions of high pressure and high gas release. As a result of processing, gradient structures were found on the surface of ferrites. A theoretical analysis and experimental study of the obtained structures “non – magnetic conductor – ferrite”, characterized by an increased attenuation coefficient and a reduced reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range from 0.5 to 2.5 GHz. The possibility of obtaining near-surface layers depleted in zinc with increased electrical conductivity and reduced magnetic permeability is shown.

The deposition of protective coatings on aluminised polymer substrates by a plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition PECVD technique in a plasma reactor with a volume of 5 m3 was studied. HMDSO was used as a precursor. Plasma was sustained in a capacitively coupled radiofrequency (RF) discharge powered by an RF generator operating at 40 kHz and having an adjustable output power up to 8 kW. Gaseous plasma was characterised by residual gas mass spectrometry and optical emission spectroscopy. Polymer samples with an average roughness of approximately 5 nm were mounted into the plasma reactor and subjected to a protocol for activation, metallisation and deposition of the protective coating. After depositing the protective coating, the samples were characterised by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The combination of various techniques for plasma and coating characterisation provided insight into the complex gas-phase and surface reactions upon deposition of the protective coatings in the industrial-size plasma reactor.
