Material gradients established!
First deposition attempts by means of simultaneous bombardment of two material targets with parallel ion beams (left). The material systems MgO and ZnO were chosen as a case study. The resulting combinatorial coating of the substrate enables the formation of material gradients. Evidence of the successful coating of the substrate with ZnMgO was provided by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (right).
