Vasile Tiron

Vasile Tiron is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Exact Sciences and Natural Sciences, affiliated with the RAMTECH Center. With 15+ years of expertise, his work focuses on plasma-assisted thin film deposition, plasma diagnostics (using Langmuir probes, mass spectrometry, and optical emission spectroscopy), and material characterization (structural, chemical, and functional properties). His research emphasizes HiPIMS deposition techniques for functional thin films, with applications in energy materials, photocatalysis, and piezoelectric systems.

Key technical domains include bismuth ferrite-based films, tungsten coatings for nuclear fusion, and polymer surface modification via atmospheric plasma jets. He explores material properties through advanced techniques like XRD, SEM, AFM, and piezoresponse force microscopy. Tiron’s work bridges fundamental plasma physics with practical applications in renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.

He has contributed over 50 publications since 2017, focusing on plasma-material interactions, photocatalytic efficiency optimization, and multifunctional composite development. His studies often investigate the interplay between microstructure, composition, and functional performance in materials like ZnO, ZrO2, and ferroelectric perovskites.
