1. Defect-engineered (Ti,Al)N thin films
Abstract : This thesis investigates the effect of point defects (nitrogen vacancies and interstitials) and multilayering ((Ti,Al)N/TiN) on the phase transformations in cathodic arc-evaporated cubic (Ti,Al)N thin films at elevated temperatures. Special attention is paid to the evolution of the beneficial spinodal decomposition into c-TiN and c-AlN, the detrimental formation of wurtzite AlN and the potential application as hard coating in cutting tools.

2. Phase stability and defect structures in (Ti,Al)N hard coatings
Abstract : This study highlights the role of nitrogen vacancies and defect structures in engineering hard coatings with enhanced phase stability and mechanical properties for high temperature applications. Titanium aluminum nitride (Ti,Al)N based materials in the form of thin coatings has remained as an outstanding choice for protection of metal cutting tools due to its superior oxidation resistance and high-temperature wear resistance.

4. Defects in Titanium Aluminum Nitride-Based Thin Films
Abstract : Coatings and thin films inherently contain several types of defects. This thesis aims to enhance the understanding of the relationship of defects on the growth, structure, stability, and properties of titanium aluminum nitride films synthesized by physical vapor deposition techniques.

5. Growth and Phase Stability Studies of Epitaxial Sc-Al-N and Ti-Al-N Thin Films
Abstract : ¨This Thesis treats the growth and characterization of ternary transition metal nitride thin films. The aim is to probe deep into the Ti-Al-N system and to explore novel Sc-Al-N compounds. Thin films were epitaxially grown by reactive dual magnetron sputtering from elemental targets onto single-crystal substrates. READ MORE
