Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have garnered considerable interest due to their
unique features, which include wear resistance with a low friction coefficient, high hardness …

Doped or alloyed diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings is an important category of DLC
characterized by the incorporation of different elements in their struc-ture to achieve …

The friction behavior of diamond-like carbon (DLC) is very sensitive to the test environment.
For hydrogen-rich DLC tested in dry argon and hydrogen, there was always an induction …

All known materials wear under extended mechanical contacting. Superlubricity may
present solutions, but is an expressed mystery in C-based materials. We report negative …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have low friction and high wear resistance compared
to bulk materials and to other wear-resistant coated surfaces. The surrounding environment …

Tetrahedral amorphous carbon nitride (ta-CNx) is suitable for tribological application due to
its excellent mechanical and adhesion properties. In this study, ta-CNx coatings with N/C …

Both nitrogen and silicon-doped carbon (a-CN x: H and a-CSi: H) films show superlubrcity
properties in distinguished sliding conditions, but most running machines are required to …

Super-low friction of amorphous carbon nitride (CNx) coating in inert gas environment has
generally been attributed to the formation of a uniform and homogeneous carbon-rich …

Commonly it is assumed that the nanocrystalline materials are composed of elements like
grains, crystallites, layers, eg, of a size of ca. 100 nm.(more typically less than 50 nm; often …

In this work we studied the mechanical properties, thermal stability and tribological
properties of ternary boron carbon nitride (BCN) coatings with controlled boron content. BCN …
