| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted considerable attention because they have unique properties such as high hardness, high wear resistance, low friction, chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and optical transparency. Therefore, DLC films are used for a wide range of industrial applications such as protective and solid lubricant coatings. In this study, we have developed silicon/nitrogen-codoped DLC films that were superior to conventional DLC films in tribological and mechanical properties and these thermal stabilities. In addition, we investigated correlations between the structure and the tribological and mechanical properties of the DLC films to obtain new knowledge for the further improvement of their properties.
