Optical properties of TiN and ZrN

Recent investigations on the electronic structure of the fourth and fifth group transition metal monocarbides, mononitrides, and monoxides

“…The E $ ( E ) curve calculated from this parameter set does not show any peaks in the energy range from 8.9 to 12 eV. Tentatively, one may identify the shoulder at 5.45 eV in the E$(E) curve of Schlegel et al [93] with the peak at 6.0 eV in the experimental curve of Karlsson et al [89] and the theoretical curve. The identification of the theoretical with the experimental peaks at higher energies is not completely unambiguous.…”

Laser micromachining of TiN coatings with variable pulse durations and shapes in ns regime

“…All experiments were carried out with the focal plane on the surface, thus the laser spot radius, w s , was equal to the radius at the focal plane (w s = w 0 ), calculated as: Table 1 The physical properties of the coating and substrate material [15][16][17][18][19]. where λ is the laser wavelength, M 2 is the beam quality factor, f is the focal length of the focusing lens, and w c is the collimated beam radius projected on the focusing lens [16].…”

Some Applications of Cathodic Arc Coatings

“…While the latter properties were mentioned before, we consider here the optical properties which are mainly due to intraband transitions of the free carriers [106].…”
