  2. 1. Hollow Cathode Deposition of Thin Films

    Author : Lars-Erik Gustavsson; Ladislav Bárdoš; Hana Baránková; Claes Nender; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Electronics; Hollow cathode; Hybrid plasma; PVD; TiN films; Ferromagnetic substrates; Magnetized plasma; CrN films; Elektronik;

    Abstract : Thin films of metals and compounds have a very wide range of applications today. Many of the deposition methods used for the production of such films utilize plasma to support the growth the film, e.g. by the supply of energy and the enhancement of reactivity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cantor-Alloy-Based Multicomponent Nitride Thin Films

    Author : Smita Gangaprasad Rao; Per Eklund; Arnaud Le Febvrier; Yutao Pei; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Thin films; Multicomponent alloys; Magnetron sputtering;

    Abstract : In this Thesis, I have investigated multicomponent alloy based thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering. The studies in the thesis are centered around the phase diagram of the CrFeCoNi nitrogen containing system. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectric Applications : Synthesis, Characterization and Theoretical Predictions

    Author : Mohammad Amin Gharavi; Per Eklund; Rickard Armiento; Björn Alling; Camille Pallier; Caterina Zanella; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Thermoelectrics is the reversible process which transforms a temperature gradient across a material into an external voltage through a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. This has resulted in niche applications such as solid-state cooling for electronic and optoelectronic devices which exclude the need for a coolant or any moving parts and long-lasting, maintenance-free radioisotope thermoelectric generators used for deep-space exploration.

  6. 4. Nanostructured TiN/ZrAlN and HfAlN Thin Films : Effect of Structure on Mechanical Properties

    Author : Marcus Lorentzon; Naureen Ghafoor; Jens Birch; Johanna Rosén; Peter Hedström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Transition metal nitrides are a remarkable group of ceramic materials that offer exceptional properties such as high hardness, low tribological wear, excellent thermal stability, and high oxidation resistance. Alloys such as TiN, CrN, VN, ZrN, and HfN have been identified as ideal candidates for protective coatings on cutting tool inserts in the metal processing industry. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nanostructural design of transition metal nitride thin films

    Author : Torbjörn Joelsson; Ivan Petrov; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Early transition metal nitrides have found extensive use in a range of thin film applications. We are just beginning to understand their growth from vapor phase deposition and microstructure-property relationships. READ MORE
