Self Lubrication on the Atomic Scale : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Coatings

In this thesis a new design concept of tribologically active coatings aimed for low friction applications, have been explored. Materials modeled by ab initio DFT calculations were realized through deposition of carbide and nanocomposite coatings by DC-magnetron sputtering. The design concept employs...
