Research Abstract |
1. The hardness of Ti-Cu-N nanocomposite films increased significantly from a value of about 22.8GPa for pure TiN films with the addition of a small amount of Cu, attained a maximum value of 42GPa at about 2 at.% Cu. The hardest Ti-Cu-N film was characterized as having nc-TiN/nc-Cu (not nc-TiN/a-Cu) nanocomposite structure, in which very tiny Cu crystallites (much smaller than TiN crystallites) dispersed between the nanocolumns of TiN crystallites. The biaxial compressive stress of the series of films was relatively low (<1.5GPa). Therefore, it was clarified that the superhardness of the hard/soft type of nanocomposite, which consists of a hard phase and a soft metal phase, does originate from a nanocomposite effect other than a high compressive stress 2. The hardness of Ti-Si-N nanocomposite films increased significantly with the addition of a small amount of Si, reached a maximum value of 48GPa at about 5.8 at.% Si. The superhard Ti-Si-N films were characterized as having an nc-TiN/a-Si_3N_4 nanocomposite structures with a pronounced TiN(200) texture, where a-Si_3N_4 was assumed to segregate between nanocolumns of TiN crystallites. The hardening by the addition of Si was attributed to a nanocomposite effect. A simple theoretical calculation revealed
