Journal ArticleDOI

Deposition and characterization of ternary thin films within the Ti–Al–C system by DC magnetron sputtering

TL;DR: The formation of ternary compounds within the Ti-Al-C system was studied by magnetron sputtering for thin-film deposition and first-principles calculations for phase stability as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sputter deposition of transition-metal carbide films - A critical review from a chemical perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on sputter-deposited carbide films based on chemical aspects of the various elements in the films is presented, where the chemical affinities (primarily towards carbon) and structural preferences of different elements are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the origin of a third spectral component of C1s XPS-spectra for nc-TiC/a-C nanocomposite thin films

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high kinetic energy XPS (HIKE-XPS) on magnetron-sputtered nc-TiC/a-C thin films to show that this feature represents a third chemical environment in the nanocomposites, besides the carbide and the amorphous carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanocomposite nc-TiC∕a-C thin films for electrical contact applications

TL;DR: In this article, thin film nanocomposites of nanocrystalline TiC embedded in a matrix of amorphous carbon have been prepared by nonreactive unbalanced dc-magnetron sputtering.
