    Recently, Bartelmann et al. presented a 'Kinetic Field Theory' (KFT) formalism to tackle the difficulties of large scale structure formation. In this approach, the dynamics of a non-equilibrium ensemble of classical particles are examined based on methods of statistical field theory. So far, only contributions coming from dark matter were considered, which is assumed to pose an accurate description of our universe on very large scales. Nevertheless, going to smaller scales, also baryonic contributions have to be taken into account. Building on the ideas of Viermann et al. we present an effective particle model of hydrodynamics to describe baryonic matter in a cosmological framework. Using this model, the baryonic density contrast power spectrum is computed to lowest perturbative order within the resummed KFT framework of Lilow et al. We discuss the qualitative differences to the dark matter case and perform a quantitative comparison to the baryonic spectrum obtained from Eulerian perturbation theory. A subsequent paper will resolve the problem of coupling both theories describing dark and baryonic matter, respectively, to gain a full model of cosmic matter. Even though our focus is on cosmological systems only, we want to emphasize that all methods presented here are of a quite general fashion, making it applicable also to other fields.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figures, current version: added more explanatory material (especially on the underlying RKFT-formalism), added references to literature on non-linear structure formation, make difference to pure dark matter model clearer, further minor changes; content matches published versio

    MOCVD of hard metallurgical coatings: Examples in the Cr–C–N system

    All individual phases of the ternary Cr–C–N system including stable and metastable ones can be deposited at low temperature by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). These growth processes are mainly based on the use of bis(benzene)chromium as chromium source and various co-reactives. Then, from a good control of the reactive gas phase, it is possible to combine these MOCVD processes to grow in the same reactor protective coatings designed with a complex architecture based on polyphased, nanostructured or multilayer structure which exhibit enhanced properties. These deposition processes are described and the main features of the coatings are discussed
