Zirconium-based coatings exhibit a range of useful properties such as high hardness, high
temperature stability, biocompatibility, and good resistance to wear, erosion, corrosion and …

TiN/CrN superlattice coatings with various bilayer periods are deposited by reactive
magnetron sputtering. The preferred orientations of the superlattices can be controlled …

Polycrystalline CrN/TiN superlattice films were deposited on M1 tool steel using unbalanced
reactive magnetron sputtering with opposed cathodes. The Cr and Ti targets were sputtered …

We carry out density functional theory calculations to compare the energetics of layer glide,
as well as stress vs. strain curves, for cubic Ti 0.5 W 0.5 N pseudobinary alloys and …

Titanium nitride (TiN) films were deposited on Si (100) substrates using a hollow cathode
discharge ion plating (HCD-IP) technique. Based on previous experimental results, the …

Coatings of TiN have been deposited by thermal CVD between 850 and 1050° C and
characterized with respect to their microstructure as well as mechanical and tribological …

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) films were deposited on Si (100) substrates using the hollow cathode
