20130199924 | SPUTTERING SOURCES FOR HIGH-PRESSURE SPUTTERING WITH LARGE TARGETS AND SPUTTERING METHOD - A sputtering head comprises a receiving area for a sputtering target (target receptacle). The sputtering head comprises one or more magnetic field sources so as to generate a stray magnetic field. The magnetic north and the magnetic south of at least one magnetic field source, between which the stray field forms, are located 10 mm or less, preferably 5 mm or less, and particularly preferably approximately 1 mm apart. It was found that, notably when sputtering at a high sputtering gas pressure of 0.5 mbar or more, the degree of ionization of the sputtering plasma, and consequently also the ablation rate of the sputtering target, can be locally adjusted by such a locally effective magnetic field. This allows the thicknesses of the layers that are obtained to be more homogeneous over the surface of the substrate. Advantageously, the sputtering head additionally comprises a solid state insulator, which surrounds the base body comprising the target receptacle and the sputtering target (all connected to potential) and electrically insulates the same from the shield that spatially limits the material ablation to the sputtering target (connected to ground). | 08-08-2013 |

20080245446 | Protective Layer for an Aluminum-Containing Alloy for High-Temperature Use - Alloys containing aluminium are characterised by an outstanding oxidation resistance at high temperatures, that is based on, inter alia, the formation of a thick and slow-growing aluminium oxide layer on material surfaces. If the formation of the aluminium oxide layer reduces the aluminium content of the alloy so far that a critical aluminium concentration is not reached, no other protective aluminium oxide layer can be formed. This leads disadvantageously to a very rapid breakaway oxidation, and the destruction of the component. This effect is stronger at temperatures above 800° C. due to the fact that, often at this point, metastable Al | 10-09-2008 |
20080231268 | Imaging Method Based on Fractal Surface-Filling or Space-Filling Curves - The present invention relates to an imaging method and device for nuclear magnetic resonance. On the one hand, the method provides an image coding by means of an additional field which has, for each point of a two-dimensional grating surface within the sample, a different field strength value that occurs only once, as is the case, e.g., in fields based on fractal, surface-filling and space-filling curves. On the other hand, the read-out of the resonance behavior of a sample along a space-filling and/or surface-filling curve can be provided. In the first variant, a magnetic resonance (MR) image with a single high-frequency excitation without a time-varying gradient can be recorded, which in turn advantageously prevents the sound generation associated therewith. In the second variant, the sounds generated during read-out are advantageously shifted to another frequency range in which the human hearing is less sensitive. Furthermore, the device is relieved and the technical requirements with regard to it are reduced. In addition, it can be executed with known and existing devices. | 09-25-2008 |
