Ra. Andrievsk et Gv. Kalinnikov, Physical-mechanical and physical-chemical properties of thin nanostructured boride/nitride films, SURF COAT, 142, 2001, pp. 573-578
Information on the microhardness determined by Vickers and nanoindentation
tests, the elastic and electrical properties as well as the behavior at def
ormation/fracture and oxidation of TiB2, TiN and AIN films are generalized
and discussed. The attention is also focused on the crystallite sizes and s
ize effects. The edge dislocations have been observed inside the film cryst
allites. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
