Utilizing reactive DC magnetron sputtering method, TiN coatings were deposited on the silicon substrates at different nitrogen flows and powers. A study of the X-ray phase composition of the coatings was carried out. The stoichiometric composition of the coatings was determined using energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The structure of the surface, cross-section, and thickness of the coatings were determined using scanning electron (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A significant change in the surface structure of TiN coatings was established with changes in deposition power and nitrogen flow. SEM images of cross-sections of all coated samples showed that the formation of coatings occurs in the form of a columnar structure with a perpendicular orientation relative to the silicon substrate. The mechanical properties (elastic modulus E and microhardness H) of TiN coatings of the first group demonstrate a maximum at a nitrogen flow of 3 sccm and are 184 ± 11 GPa and 15.7 ± 1.3 GPa, respectively. In the second group, the values of E and H increase due to a decrease in the size of the structural elements of the coating (grains and crystallites). In the third group, E and H decrease. Microtribological tests were carried out in 4 stages: at a constant load, multi-cycle for 10 and 100 cycles, and with increasing load. The coefficient of friction (CoF) and specific volumetric wear ω depend on the roughness, topology, and mechanical properties of the resulting coatings. Fracture toughness was determined using nanoscratch and depends on the mechanical properties of TiN coatings. Within each group, coatings with the best mechanical and microtribological properties were described: in the first group—TiN coating at 3 sccm (with (29.6 ± 0.1) at.% N), in the second group—TiN coating at 2 sccm (with (40.8 ± 0.2) at.% N), and in the third group—TiN coating at 1 sccm (c (37.3 ± 0.2) at.% N).

In the present research, nanoindentation, atomic-force microscopy and optical microscopy were used to study the mechanical and microgeometrical parameters of tooth tissues. A nanoindentation test unit equipped with Berkovich indenter was used to determine the values of the reduced Young's modulus and indentation hardness and both nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy using a diamond probe on a silicon cantilever were used to study microgeometrical parameters of human tooth root cementum. Three areas of cementum were studied: the cervical region near the dentine–enamel junction, the second third of the tooth root, and the apex of the tooth root. The interpretation of the results was carried out using the Oliver–Pharr method. It was established, that the mechanical properties of cementum increase from the cervical region to the central part of the root, then decrease again towards the apex of the tooth root. On the contrary, the microgeometrical characteristics of cementum practically do not demonstrate any change in the same direction. A decrease in the roughness parameters in the direction from cellular cementum to dentine was observed. Additionally, a decrease in the reduced Young's modulus and indentation hardness of dentine in the cervical area compared to dentine in the crown part of the tooth was found using nanoindentation. The investigation of the dentine–cementum junction with high resolution revealed the interspaced collagen fiber bridges and epithelial rests of Malassez, whose sizes were studied. The parameters of the topographic features of the cementum in the vicinity of the lacunae of cementocytes were also established. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper addresses the problem of identification of microstructural, nanomechanical, and tribological properties of thin films of tantalum (Ta) and its compounds deposited on stainless steel substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering. The compositions of the obtained nanostructured films were determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy. Surface morphology was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The coatings were found to be homogeneous and have low roughness values (<10 nm). The values of microhardness and elastic modulus were obtained by means of nanoindentation. Elastic modulus values for all the coatings remained unchanged with different atomic percentage of tantalum in the films. The values of microhardness of the tantalum films were increased after incorporation of the oxygen and nitrogen atoms into the crystal lattice of the coatings. The coefficient of friction, CoF, was determined by the AFM method in the "sliding" and "plowing" modes. Deposition of the coatings on the substrates led to a decrease of CoF for the coating-substrate system compared to the substrates; thus, the final product utilizing such a coating will presumably have a longer service life. The tantalum nitride films were characterized by the smallest values of CoF and specific volumetric wear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The changes in the morphology and the electrophysical properties of the Cr/n-Si (111) structure depending on the rapid thermal treatment were considered in this study. The chromium films of about 30 nm thickness were deposited via magnetron sputtering. The rapid thermal treatment was performed by the irradiation of the substrate's back side with the incoherent light flux of the quartz halogen lamps in nitrogen medium up to 200–550 °C. The surface morphology was investigated, including the grain size, the roughness parameters and the specific surface energy using atomic force microscopy. The resistivity value of the chromium films on silicon was determined by means of the four-probe method. It was established that at the temperatures of the rapid thermal treatment up to 350 °C one can observe re-crystallization of the chromium films with preservation of the fine grain morphology of the surface, accompanied by a reduction in the grain sizes, specific surface energy and the value of specific resistivity. At the temperatures of the rapid thermal treatment from 400 to 550 °C there originates the diffusion synthesis of the chromium disilicide CrSi
2 with the wave-like surface morphology, followed by an increase in the grain sizes, roughness parameters, the specific surface energy and the specific resistivity value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Alteration of the phase composition of a coating and/or its surface topography can be achieved by changing the deposition technology and/or introducing additional elements into the coating. Investigation of the effect of the composition of CrN-based coatings (including AlCrN and CrON) on the microparticle height and volume, as well as the construction of correlations between the friction coefficient at the microscale and the geometry of microparticles, are the goals of this study. We use atomic force microscopy (AFM), which is the most effective method of investigation with nanometer resolution. By revealing the morphology, AFM allows one to determine the diameter of the particles, their heights and volumes and to identify different phases in the studied area by contrasted properties. The evaluation of the distribution of mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity E and microhardness H) on the surfaces of multiphase coatings with microparticles is carried out by using the nanoindentation method. It is found that the roughness decreases with an increase in the Al concentration in AlCrN. For the CrON coatings, the opposite effect is observed. Similar conclusions are valid for the size of the microparticles and their height for both types of coating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PLASMA-enhanced chemical vapor deposition , *ATOMIC force microscopy , *METALS , *SURFACE energy , *NONMETALS , *MECHANICAL wear , *DRY friction - Abstract
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings have high wear resistance, hardness, biocompatibility and chemical inertness. Secondary structures, which formed at the track in dry friction conditions, provide friction reduction. Doping DLC with both metallic and non-metallic elements leads to a rearrangement of the structure of graphite clusters, a change in their properties, and facilitates the formation of secondary structures. In the present, the silicon atoms were used to create the compositional structure of DLC surface layers at the level of the crystal lattice. DLC-Si coatings with the thickness of 2 µm were deposited on a (Cr, Al, Si)N layer with the thickness of 3 µm formed on a steel substrate. DLC-Si layer was deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition using acetylene and tetramethylsilane. Nanoindentation in the wear mode was used to study the nanomechanical properties of the surface. Atomic force microscopy was used to visualize the surface morphology and wear traces. In this study, secondary structures were created in a microfriction process using a NanoScratch mode. The surface structures after microfriction was observed by atomic force microscopy, and the specific surface energy was measured. The specific volumetric wear rate of the coatings after microfriction was estimated. During microtribological testing with double squares the specific volumetric wear rate of DLC coatings was 5.39·10-14 m3/N·m for 0.8 % Si and 12.39·10-14 m3/N·m for 10 % Si. When tested in the form of scratches, the specific volumetric wear rate for the coating was for the DLC-0.8 % Si (1.22 – 10.71)·10-14 m3/N·m and for the DLC-10 % (6.17 – 49.55) ·10-14 m3/N·m.

[Display omitted] • Physical and mechanical properties were obtained for (1 0 0), (1 1 0) and (1 1 1) oriented Si wafers. • Certain directions of crack propagation were revealed for each orientation. • AFM allowed to obtain crack length and К 1C with high accuracy. • A correlation was established between К 1C , surface energy and Young's modulus. • A correlation was established between G 1C and microhardness H. Crack resistance of silicon wafers plays a vital role in development of MEMS technologies containing beam elements. In the present research, this characteristic was determined using the Vickers tip indentation method. The critical stress intensity factor K IC and fracture energy G IC of silicon wafers of (1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1) crystallographic orientations were evaluated. The measurements were supplemented by imaging of indents using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The correlation of these parameters with the specific surface energy, Young's modulus E and microhardness H was conducted. The values of E and H were evaluated by nanoindentation. The dependences of K IC and G IC on the load of silicon wafers of (1 0 0), (1 1 0), and (1 1 1) orientations were obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
