This article reviews recent basic research on two categories of metal-based nanolaminates:
those composed of metal/metal constituents and those composed of metal/ceramic …

Since the introduction of the term “nanolaminate” in the mid-1990s, considerable research
activities on metallic/ceramic nanolaminates (MCN) have been conducted. Incorporating …

Abstract Nanostructured crystalline Al/amorphous AlN multilayer films with a wide layer
thickness (h) range from∼ 10 nm up to∼ 200 nm were prepared by using magnetron …

The continuous development of hydrogen-permeation barriers (HPB) based on metal
nitrides highly desires a generic unification of the key thermodynamic and kinetic …

Recent experimental and modeling studies in nanolayered metal/ceramic composites are
reviewed, with focus on the mechanical behaviors of metal/nitrides interfaces. The …

Metastable rock-salt (face centered cubic, c-) AlN can be grown in CrN/AlN multilayers when
the AlN layer is thin enough. Exceeding a certain critical thickness, the thermodynamically …

Nanotwinned structures in superhard ceramics rhombohedral boron suboxide (R-B6O) have
been examined using a combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and …

The microstructure evolutions of Cu/Ru multilayered films with equal individual layer
thickness h ranging from 1.5 nm to 200 nm were investigated. Based on systematic X-ray …

Aluminum nitride (AlN) films were synthesized onto Si (100) substrates by pulsed laser
deposition (PLD) in vacuum or nitrogen, at 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 Pa, and substrate temperatures …

The effect of misfit dislocation networks (MDNs) on the stability and shear strength of Cr/TiN
was investigated using a newly developed modified embedded atom model parameterized …
