Cr-N and Cu-Cr-N coatings with Cu content between 3–65 at.%, Cu/Cr ratios in the 0.04–4.5 range and 21–27 at.% N, synthesized by twin e-beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) at 450°C, were investigated. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in combination with nanoindentation mechanical property measurements and laboratory controlled ball-on-disc sliding experiments, it is shown that Cu-Cr-N coatings with low Cu content (3 at.%) possess sufficient wear resistance for high temperature demanding tribological applications.

A novel hydroxyapatite/Al2O3 (anodic) biocomposite coating has been successfully fabricated on titanium using a multi-step technique including physical vapor deposition (PVD), anodization, electrodeposition and hydrothermal treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to investigate morphologies and compositions of the pre- and post-hydrothermally treated hydroxyapatite/Al2O3 (anodic) biocomposite coatings. The results showed that plate-like Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite coating was directly elctrodeposited onto anodic Al2O3 at a constant current density of 2.0 mA/cm2 using NaH2PO4 as the phosphorous source. The plate-like Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite was converted into network-like Ca-rich hydroxyapatite after hydrothermal treatment.

Intense photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature from the polycrystalline SiC samples prepared from carbon-saturated Si melt at a temperature ranging from 1500 to 1650°C. Composition and structure of the samples have been confirmed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. PL measurements with 325 nm UV light excitation revealed that the room temperature PL spectrum of the samples consists of 3 luminescent bands, the peak energies of which are 2.38 eV, 2.77 eV and 3.06 eV, respectively. The 2.38 eV band is much stronger than the others. It is suggested that some extrinsic PL mechanisms associated with defect or interface states would be responsible to the intensive PL observed at room temperature.

Films containing the metals copper, yttrium, calcium, strontium, barium, and bismuth were grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). Depositions were carried out at atmospheric pressure in an oxygen-rich environment using metal beta-diketonates and triphenylbismuth. The films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, Nomarski and scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results show that films containing yttrium consisted of Y2O3 with a small amount of carbidic carbon, those with copper and bismuth were mixtures of oxides with no detectable carbon, and those with calcium, strontium, and barium contained carbonates. Use of a partially fluorinated barium beta-diketonate gave films of BaF2 with small amounts of BaCO3.

Synthesis of a rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide with (110) face was investigated. The characterization was performed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements. The homogeneous rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide was obtained until 4.1 mol% of tin was substituted with lead. The surface of obtained oxide had a homogeneously lead-substituted (110) face.

Reduced graphene oxide–epoxy grafted poly(styrene-co-acrylate) composites (GESA) were prepared by anchoring different amount of epoxy modified poly(styrene-co-acrylate) (EPSA) onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets through π–π electrostatic attraction. The GESA composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The anti-corrosion properties of rGO/EPSA composites were evaluated by electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in hydroxyl-polyacrylate coating, and the results revealed that the corrosion rate was decreased from 3.509 × 10−1 to 1.394 × 10−6 mm/a.

Layers of cerium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared on titanium by electrodeposition with organic solution. Three concentrations of cerium ions were used at 31.6 V. The organic solution was isobutanol and titanium foils were used as anodes and cathodes. Currents were monitored during the electrodeposition. Deposition times ranged from 0.5 to 8 h. Deposited Deposited layers were calcined at 700 K for 30 min. The morphology and composition of the deposited layers were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As-prepared and calcined deposition layers were assayed to be cerium dioxide. The average crystallite size increased from 4 to 7 nm through calcination at 700 K. Sizes of calcined cerium oxide agglomerates were ranging from 73 to 146 nm for 30 min deposition and 209 to 262 nm for 8 h deposition. The electrodeposition efficiencies of 0.5 h deposition at three concentrations were measured to be highest.

SiC films with a quantity of carbon and silicon were obtained by electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) from a sintered SiC target with different current intensity of EB. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used for characterization of chemical bonding states of C and Si elements in SiC films in order to study the influence of current intensity of EB on the compositions in the deposited films. At the same time, the nanohardness of the deposited films was investigated.

Microsleeve bearings intended for microrotational machinery were fabricated by X-ray lithography and Ni electroplating. Coated to the working surfaces of the bearings was a 900nm thick uniform tungsten hydrocarbon (W–C:H) coating using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted, hybrid chemical vapor deposition (CVD)/physical vapor deposition (PVD) tool. Tribological characteristics and mechanical properties of as-electrodeposited Ni microbearings, annealed Ni microbearings at 800°C, and W–C:H coated microbearings were investigated. Potential applications of the microbearings may involve very light contact pressure (5-30MPa) and high sliding speed, such as micromotors and microturbines. Conventional pin-on disk test methods on top flat surfaces, (001) planes, cannot effectively predict tribological characteristics because these microbearings use the sidewall (110 plane) as a working surface. A special micro wear tester and friction tester were developed. Surface morphologies of new and worn bearing surfaces were studied using SEM. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterized the W–C:H coated microbearings. Test results of the W–C:H coated microbearings (wear characteristics and friction) are also presented. W–C:H coated microbearings had much lower wear rate than uncoated bearings. During the wear test, a transfer layer formed on the counter steel shaft even under very small contact pressure, leading to low steady state friction and high wear resistance.

AbstractChemical vapor deposition from (MeCp)2Nb(allyl) at atmospheric pressure yields niobium carbide films at temperatures as low as 300°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies indicate that the bulk films contain a carbide phase and a nearly stoichiometric ratio of niobium to carbon. The morphology of the films has been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
