A critical review of the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of amorphous diamond-like carbon
(DLC) films is presented. A short review of the PLD process is followed by a review of …

Nanocrystalline TiC/amorphous carbon (aC) composite films were synthesized at near room
temperature with a hybrid process combining laser ablation of graphite and magnetron …

Titanium carbide thin films have been deposited on both (100) silicon and fused silica
substrates by pulsed laser ablating a polycrystalline TiC target. At a KrF excimer laser …

Coatings that offer protection from wear, low friction coefficients, and corrosion resistance
are required for many applications ranging from tool inserts to bearings. The precise …

The chemical, mechanical, and tribological properties of pulsed‐laser‐deposited TiC and
VC films are reported in this paper. Films were deposited by ablating carbide targets using a …

The ternary phase ceramic, Ti 3 SiC 2, has often been synthesized through reactive hot
pressing, providing bulk samples for studying its mechanical and physical properties …

PbMoO 4 is a potential solid lubricant for use at elevated temperatures in oxidizing
environments. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was utilized to grow thin films of this material …

TiC coatings on 440C stainless steel (SS) substrates that contain different kinds of
interlayers (Ti, Cr and Mo) of different thickness were grown by magnetron sputtering. The …

The deposition of a TiC coating on a Ti electrode in molten Li 2 CO 3 at 900 C due to
cathodic bias is described. During the first 5–20 min of application of− 3V bias with respect …

This book is the third volume in my Ultra-High Temperature Materials (UHTM) series, which
is devoted to the materials having melting (sublimation or decomposition) points around or …
