Microstructural design of hard coatings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical as well as tribological properties of hard ceramic coatings and demonstrate that nanostructure dependent hardness increase (compared to hardness of the bulk counterparts) sustains higher annealing temperatures than hardness increase due to an increased density of point-and/or line-defects.

Different approaches to superhard coatings and nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, different approaches to the preparation of superhard coatings such as intrinsically superhard materials, coatings whose hardness is enhanced by energetic ion bombardment during deposition, and nanostructured super-hard materials are discussed with the emphasis on the question of how to distinguish between the different mechanisms of hardness enhancement in thin coatings.

Hard nanocomposite coatings: Thermal stability, oxidation resistance and toughness
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the enhanced hardness of nanocomposite coatings, their thermal stability, protection of the substrate against oxidation at temperatures above 1000°C, X-ray amorphous coatings thermally stable above 1000 °C and new advanced hard Nanocomposites with enhanced toughness which exhibit (i) low values of the effective Young's modulus E ⁎ satisfying the condition H/E < 0.1, (ii) high elastic recovery W e ǫ ≥ 60%, (iii) strongly improved tribological properties,

Self-organized nanostructures in the Ti–Al–N system
Paul H. Mayrhofer,Anders Hörling,Lennart Karlsson,Jacob Sjölén,Tommy Larsson,Christian Mitterer,Lars Hultman +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model system, Ti1-xAlxN, was chosen as such coatings are known for their excellent wear resistance enabling improved m... and the phenomenon of age hardening could be evidenced in thin film applications.

Nanoparticle plasmonics: going practical with transition metal nitrides
TL;DR: In this article, a brief discussion on alternative plasmonic materials for localized surface plasmor applications and focuses on transition metal nitrides, in particular, titanium nitride, which has recently been shown to be a high performance refractory material that could replace and even outperform gold in various plammonic devices.

The search for novel, superhard materials
TL;DR: The recent development in the field of superhard materials with Vickers hardness of ⩾40 GPa is reviewed in this article, where two basic approaches are outlined including the intrinsic superhard material, such as diamond, cubic boron nitride, C3N4, carbonitrides, etc. and extrinsic, nanostructured materials for which superhardness is achieved by an appropriate design of their microstructure.

Material selection for hard coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of multicomponent boride, carbide, nitride, and oxide systems as coating materials is discussed in view of their potential as coating material.
