Silva, D., C. S. Monteiro, S. O. Silva, O. Frazão, J. V. Pinto, M. Raposo, P. A. Ribeiro, and S. Sério, "{Sputtering Deposition of TiO2 Thin Film Coatings for Fiber Optic Sensors}", Photonics, vol. 9, no. 5: MDPI AG, pp. 342, may, 2022. Abstract

Thin films of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and titanium (Ti) were deposited onto glass and optical fiber supports through DC magnetron sputtering, and their transmission was characterized with regard to their use in optical fiber-based sensors. Deposition parameters such as oxygen partial pressure, working pressure, and sputtering power were optimized to attain films with a high reflectance. The films deposited on glass supports were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Regarding the deposition parameters, all three parameters were tested simultaneously, changing the working pressure, the sputtering power, and the oxygen percentage. It was possible to conclude that a lower working pressure and higher applied power lead to films with a higher reflectance. Through the analysis of the as-sputtered thin films using X-ray diffraction, the deposition of both Ti and TiO2 films was confirmed. To study the applicability of TiO2 and Ti in fiber sensing, several thin films were deposited in single mode fibers (SMFs) using the sputtering conditions that revealed the most promising results in the glass supports. The sputtered TiO2 and Ti thin films were used as mirrors to increase the visibility of a low-finesse Fabry–Perot cavity and the possible sensing applications were studied.

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd. Graphical abstract: The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide dissolved in a solution of water and ionic liquid as electrolyte, at high-pressure and near room-temperature, is reported. This work describes an electro-deposition strategy for the preparation of copper substrate cathodes, coated with bimetallic zinc-copper films, obtained from deep-eutectic solvents plating baths. The prepared bimetallic cathodes showed electrochemical activity for syngas production in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate, with yields of 85N$μ$L (normal microliter)cm−2C−1/170N$μ$Lcm−2h−1, high selectivities, tunable H2/CO ratio and low energetic requirements.

Abstract

For the study of astrophysically relevant capture reactions in the underground laboratory LUNA a new setup of high sensitivity has been implemented. The setup includes a windowless gas target, a 4$π$ BGO summing crystal, and beam calorimeters. The setup has been recently used to measure the d(p,$\gamma$)3He cross-section for the first time within its solar Gamow peak, i.e. down to 2.5keV c.m. energy. The features of the optimized setup are described. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
