Abstract

The development of coatings and thin films for a specific application necessitates a proper control of the system; from the deposition process to the expected properties. Two of our research activities will be presented concerning (i) the metallization of composites for space applications, and (ii) the synthesis of Al-Fe intermetallic coatings dedicated to catalysis. Despite these specific applications, we will show how we treat both applied and fundamental aspects with about half of our activities treated empirically, whereas the other half makes extensive use of deterministic and probabilistic calculations.
