The Plasma Coatings Group is part of the Low Temperature Plasma Laboratory of the National Institute for Lasers, Plasma and Radiation Physics, Bucharest, Romania.

We are specialized in deposition and characterisation of metallic films and DLC films for both research and industry, using an original deposition method, Thermoionic Vacuum Arc (TVA).

Applications - We can deposit thin and thick films (4 Å - 200 μm) of any metal in the Periodic Table and also DLC, pure or in any combination of two elements. The deposition can be made on different substrate materials: metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, textile, leather etc. The deposition can be made in the temperature range from room temperature up to 350°C, depending on the specific application.

Ion Energy analysis - in-house, computer controlled system for ion energy analysis based on the Retarding Field Analyzer (RFA) concept.

A list of published papers can be found here.

Our research is mainly sponsored by the Romanian Ministery of Research.
