| Abstract Scope |
Architected structures have garnered great interest due to their ability to achieve exceptional combinations of material properties and for their potential applications—ranging from photonics to tissue engineering. These structures have been further functionalized through the deposition of ceramic and metallic coatings by common techniques such as atomic layer deposition and electrodeposition. However, these techniques are limited to mainly oxides and single element metallic coatings. Therefore, in this study we investigate the optimization of deposition parameters for magnetron sputtering, a coating technique which allows for the deposition of a wide range of engineering metals and alloys. Specifically, coating uniformity studies between planar and 360 degree line-of-sight sputtering configurations were conducted in order to explore magnetron sputtering as a viable approach for coating architected structures. Improvements in the coating capabilities of architected materials are crucial for the development and expansion of the working space of advanced materials with designed architectures. |
