The nitrides of most of the group IVb-Vb-VIb transition metals (TiN, ZrN, HfN, VN, NbN, TaN,
MoN, WN) constitute the unique category of conductive ceramics. Having substantial …

Recently, transition metal nitrides received attention as potential alternative materials for
plasmonics due to their high electron conductivity and mobility, high melting point, chemical …

High-entropy alloy and nitride coatings (TiHfZrVNb) N were prepared by the cathodic-arc-
vapor-deposition method under various deposition conditions. The composition, crystal …

A TaNbZr-based quaternary ceramic coating with a metallurgical transition layer on a
titanium alloy surface has been produced. The quaternary ceramic coatings exhibit a face …

The paper presents the results of the comparative tests of carbide samples with multilayered
nano-structured coatings based on titanium nitrides (Ti-TiN-(Ti, Cr, Al, Si) N) and zirconium …

A perfect absorber in the visible-infrared regime maintaining its performance at elevated
temperatures and under a harsh environment is needed for energy harvesting using solar …

We discuss the synthesis and properties of plasmonic zirconium nitride nanocrystals
produced using a nonthermal plasma reactor. The process enables the continuous …

We have developed a kinetic model for residual stress generation in thin films grown from
energetic vapor fluxes, encountered, eg, during sputter deposition. The new analytical …

In recent years, high entropy alloy (HEA) nitrides have shown outstanding properties in the
field of protective hard coatings. However, for monolayer HEA nitride thin film, low adhesion …

Nanostructured columnar titanium nitride (TiN) thin films were produced by oblique angle
deposition using reactive magnetron sputtering. The influence of the angular distribution of …
