Direct synthesis of titanium nitride by laser-plasma

A Review on Titanium Nitride and Titanium Carbide Single and Multilayer Coatings Deposited by Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition

In this paper, we reviewed researches about the titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbide (TiC) single and multilayer coatings. These coatings were deposited by the plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) technique. Plasma-based technologies are used for the processing of thin films and coatings for different applications such as automobile and aerospace parts, computer disc drives,...

Decorative Titanium Nitride Colored Coatings on Bell-Metal by Reactive Cylindrical Magnetron Sputtering

The transition metal nitrides like titanium nitride exhibit very interesting color variation properties depending on the different plasma deposition conditions using cylindrical magnetron sputtering method. It is found in this deposition study that nitrogen partial pressure in the reactive gas discharge environment plays a significant role on the color variation of the film coatings on bell-met...

Structure and mechanical properties of titanium nitride thin films grown by reac - tive pulsed laser deposition

Direct access to macroporous chromium nitride and chromium titanium nitride with inverse opal structure.

We report a facile synthesis of single-phase, nanocrystalline macroporous chromium nitride and chromium titanium nitride with an inverse opal morphology. The material is characterized using XRD, SEM, HR-TEM/STEM, TGA and XPS. Interconversion of macroporous CrN to Cr2O3 and back to CrN while retaining the inverse opal morphology is also demonstrated.

Mechanism for Low Temperature Growth of Boron Nitride Nanotubes

Selective growth of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) was demonstrated by plasma-enhanced pulsed laser deposition (PE-PLD). Although PLD is a physical vapor deposition technique for the growth of boron nitride (BN) thin films, ion sputtering induced by the plasma can eliminate the formation of BN thin films and lead to the so-called total resputtering region, in which, a pure phase of BNNTs can b...
