  • Nanowires and process for their production
    Patent number: 11351602
    Abstract: A process for producing magnetic nanowires of high quality and a good production yield is disclosed. The process comprises sputtering a target of a magnetic material using a plasma, growing nanoparticles from the sputtered matter to magnetic nanoparticles and collecting the magnetic nanoparticles on a substrate in the form of nanowires.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Inventors: Ulf Helmersson, Nils Brenning, Sebastian Ekeroth
  • Plasma sputtering process for producing particles
    Patent number: 9447493
    Abstract: A high production rate plasma sputtering process for producing particles having a size of 10 ?m or less is disclosed. The process causes ionization of at least a part of the sputtered target atoms and is performed at such parameters that the pick-up probability of ionized sputtered target atoms on the surface of grains is high.

    Assignee: Plasmadvance AB
    Inventors: Ulf Helmersson, Nils Brenning, Daniel Soderstrom
  • SPUTTERING PROCESS FOR SPUTTERING A TARGET OF CARBON
    Publication number: 20140027269
    Abstract: The sputtering process according to the present disclosure comprises providing a target consisting of carbon in a sputtering apparatus, introducing a process gas essentially consisting of a neon or a gas mixture comprising at least 60% neon into said apparatus, applying a pulsed power discharge to said target in order to create a plasma of said process gas, sputtering said target by means of said plasma. The process is able to ionize a significant amount of sputtered carbon atoms.
