Synthesis, Microstructural, and Mechano-Tribological Properties of Self-Lubricating W-S-C(H) Thin Films Deposited by Different RF Magnetron Sputtering Procedures

Carbon-alloyed transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) coatings have great potential for providing a good tribological response in diverse operating environments. There are different ways to synthesize these coatings by magnetron sputtering, with no clear indication of the best possible route for pote...
