Nitride films are grown on Ti, Ta, Mo, W, Ni, Si(111), and NaCl(100) substrates by ion implantation, and their phase composition, structure, and properties are studied. The films produced using a titanium target are multiphase and contain, in addition to TiN and Ti 2 N (and minor amounts of nitrides of the substrate metal), TiO 2 and oxides of the substrate metal in the form of islands 0.04 to 0.2 µ m in size, distributed at random over the film. The presence of several phases in the films determines their mechanical and electrical properties and ensures good adhesion and corrosion resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
