AbstractTiC and TiCN thin films were deposited by RF sputtering from a TiC target. For TiC thin films, the various sputtering pressure were carried out in order to observe the influence of this parameter on structural and mechanical properties. The experimental results show that a pressure of 1 Pa is necessary to obtain stoichiometric films with <111> texture. Lower pressures induce the formation of distorted titanium carbide, while RBS spectra show that the Ti/C ratio is constant for all these samples. Both the compressive stress and the hardness exhibited a maximum value for the lowest pressures. For TiCN thin films, the composition and the hardness were investigated as function of the N2 partial pressure (PN2 = 3% to 70%).

Submerged systems are found in many engineering, biological, and medicinal applications. For such systems, due to the particular environmental conditions and working medium, the research on the mechanical and structural properties at every scale (from macroscopic to nanoscopic), and the control of the system dynamics and induced effects become very difficult tasks. For such purposes in submerged systems, piezoelectric patches (PZTp), which are light, small and economic, have been proved to be a very good solution. PZTp have been recently used as sensors/actuators for applications such as modal analysis, active sound and vibration control, energy harvesting and atomic force microscopes in submerged systems. As a consequence, in these applications, newly developed transducers based on PZTp have become the most used ones, which has improved the state of the art and methods used in these fields. This review paper carefully analyzes and summarizes these applications particularized to submerged structures and shows the most relevant results and findings, which have been obtained thanks to the use of PZTp.
