abstract = "The non-equilibrium electro-thermodynamic properties of magnetized
plasma produced by a modified radio-frequency magnetron sputtering
system were investigated in detail. The plasma was analyzed using
Hall, Langmuir, and Faraday probes and optical emission
spectroscopy, and numerical simulations were conducted to
determine the electric and magnetic field profiles. It is found
that the occurrence of lower hybrid resonance and excitation of
helicon waves are satisfied locally along the plasma profile (Z).
This unusual effect in magnetron sputtering systems plays an
important role in the increase of the electrons and ions
temperature improving the quality of the films produced. Films of
complex structure as hydroxyapatite that have biomedical
applications were produced along the Z to confirm our plasma
results. The films were characterized by performing grazing
incidence X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation, X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The
microstructure analysis of hydroxyapatite films produced at
different Z revealed that films with high crystallinities and with
ideal stoichiometries (Ca/P = 1.67 ± 0.05) were produced within a
magnetic cusp region (26 mm < Z < 32 mm). Based upon the results
from plasma diagnostics and films characterization, we proposed a
model of plasma of this system. The delivered energy by ions
bombardment for films formation was determined and reached values
around 8 eVs\−1Ĺ\−2 and plasma temperature of T
\≈ 10 eV inside the magnetic cusp region. Finally, this
work opens the possibility to produce coatings of other complex
compounds by the fine-tuning of resonant waves and their high
delivered energies in vacuum magnetized plasmas.",
