Abstract:
Amorphous metal Pt–Zr coatings micron in thickness, as well as crystalline ones, were obtained on the surfaces of hollow thin-wall glass microspheres using direct current magnetron sputtering at the deposition rate of 0.1 nm/s. Being in the range of 1–1.5 nm, the roughness of the obtained amorphous coatings is essentially lower than that of crystalline coatings of the same composition.
