To make the coating material conductive, the researchers doped titanium with niobium at varying concentrations as required using the Megatron sputtering system. This yields a new coating solution that has a superior coating rate and comparatively smoother surface.
Megatron provides users with more options to alter doping concentrations, thereby enabling production of gradients and new multi-material coatings e.g., new self-cleaning surfaces for indoors using titanium dioxide and tungsten. Doping the titanium dioxide film with tungsten breaks down and removes organic dirt particles under sunlight exposure.
Megatron’s approach can also be adapted for other applications such as improvement of solar cell efficiency.
