Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of TiCrZrNbNx Alloy Nitride Thin Films

The pure elements Ti, Zr, Cr, Nb were selected to produce an TiCrZrNb alloy target and deposited thin films thereof by a reactive high vacuum DC sputtering process. Nitrogen was used as the reactive gas to deposit the nitride thin films. The effect of nitriding on the properties of the TiCrZrNbNx film was tested by changing the nitrogen ratio of the atmosphere. All of the as-deposited TiCrZrNbN...

novel bioactive co-based alloy/fa nanocomposite for dental applications

background: dental cobalt base alloys are biocompatible dental materials and have been widely used in dentistry. however, metals are bioinert and may not present bioactivity in human body. bioactivity is the especial ability to interact with human body and make a bonding to soft and hard tissues. the aim of the present research was fabrication and bioactivity evaluation of novel cobalt alloy/ f...

High Coercivity Co-Alloy Thin Films on Polymer Substrates

Films of (10 10) textured CoCrPt have been sputtered on polymer substrates for use as thin film tape media. Underlayers of NiAl combined with various intermediate layers were employed to obtain this orientation without thermal damage to the polymer. It was found that NiAl underlayers sputtered on tape substrates have a (112) growth texture, like they do on glass. Film coercivity varied as a fun...

Stacking Faults and Their Effect on Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy in Co and Co-Alloy Thin Films

Stacking faults in (1010) unicrystal Co and Co-alloy thin films have been analyzed by the electron diffraction technique. As predicted no diffraction contrast of stacking faults could be observed when the beam is parallel to the [1010] direction. However, both by plan-view TEM observation and electron diffraction along the [1120] direction reveal that the stacking fault density in biased pure C...
