Inside The Miscibility Gap : Nanostructuring and Phase Transformations in Hard Nitride Coatings

This thesis is concerned with self-organization phenomena in hard and wear resistant transition-metal nitride coatings, both during growth and during post deposition thermal annealing. The uniting physical principle in the studied systems is the immiscibility of their constituent parts, which leads,...
