The aim of the presented research was to investigate the influence of strontium dopant on the structure and composition of La_{1-x}Sr_{x}CoO₃ (x=0, 0.1, 0.2) perovskite thin films. Pure and Sr doped LaCoO₃ thin films were grown by pulsed electron deposition technique on crystalline epi-polished Si/MgO substrates. Numerous analytical techniques (scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction) were applied to characterize their phase/chemical composition, structure and surface morphology. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the presence of pure LaCoO₃ perovskite phase in the undoped thin film. For Sr doped thin films La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO₃ (x=0.2), La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}CoO₃ (x=0.1) small contents of La₂ O₃ and LaSrCoO₄ phases were noticed. The crystallite sizes, calculated from the Williamson-Hall plots, were about 18 nm for all analyzed films. According to scanning electron microscopy/atomic force microscopy observations, obtained thin films were free from defects and cracks. Atomic force microscopy (tapping mode) analysis revealed the differences in the shape and quantity of surface crystallites for all thin films as a result of Sr doping and different deposition parameters. Atomic force microscopy technique also allowed measurement of roughness parameters for analyzed samples. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of chemical states of elements of thin films showed that their chemical state was stable across the film thickness and even at the interface with the MgO substrate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis also allowed to evaluate chemical states and atomic concentration of La, Co, and Sr elements within cross-sections of deposited thin films.

Ni-Cr-Mo alloys, e.g. Inconel 625 and 686, exhibit high-temperature corrosion, oxidation and wear resistance. For this reason, these alloys are typically used as a coating material in different environments as effective solid-state diffusion barriers between the corrosive atmosphere and the base metal. To perform: the Ni-base weld overlays, without introducing too much Fe, a new welding technique called cold metal transfer was used. High-temperature corrosion of boiler parts during incineration of waste was investigated. Boiler tubes were coated with Inconel 625 and Inconel 686 nickel alloys and, after subjecting them to waste incineration ashes, they were examined by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer to reveal different corrosion mechanisms and their causes. Results indicate a strong dependence of the boiler steel corrosion on anions in the incineration waste ash. X-ray diffraction characteristics of the scale showed that surface corrosion processes induce the formation of CrO₂, NiO. The presence of iron in the clad weld surface is conductive to the formation of the Fe₂O₃ oxide.

The c-axis orientation YBa_2Cu_3O_δ thin film was prepared directly on MgO substrate by the pulse laser deposition. The thickness of the film was 170 nm. The superconducting critical temperature was T_{c50%}=89 K and the width of superconducting transition was Δ T= 1.6 K. Temperature dependence of the critical current of the film was obtained from the temperature dependences of the imaginary part of the AC susceptibility using the Bean model. The critical current density was J_{c}=1.2×10^7 A/cm^{2} at 77 K in the self field. The critical exponents were calculated for several values of the DC applied magnetic field using the temperature dependences of magnetoresistivity. The thermal fluctuations in vicinity of the critical temperature were analysed.
