Magnetic field strength influence on the reactive magnetron sputter deposition of Ta2O5
R. Hollerweger, D. Holec, J. Paulitsch +3
Reactive magnetron sputtering enables the deposition of various thin films to be used for protective as well as optical and electronic applications. However, progressing target ero…
Alloying-related trends from first principles: An application to the Ti--Al--X--N system
David Holec, Liangcai Zhou, Richard Rachbauer +1
Tailoring and improving material properties by alloying is a long-known and used concept. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of ab initio calculations in understanding…
First-principles study of elastic properties of Cr-Al-N
Liangcai Zhou, David Holec, Paul H. Mayrhofer
The elastic properties of paramagnetic cubic B1 (c-) Cr1-xAlxN ternary alloys are studied using stress-strain and energy-strain methods within the framework of Density Functional T…
Surface energies of AlN allotropes from first principles
David Holec, Paul H. Mayrhofer
In this Letter we present first principle calculation of surface energies of rock-salt (B1), zinc-blende (B3), and wurtzite (B4) AlN allotropes. Out of several low-index facets, th…
First principles study of water-based self-assembled nanobearing effect in CrN/TiN multilayer coatings
David Holec, Jörg Paulitsch, Paul H. Mayrhofer
Recently, we have reported on low friction CrN/TiN coatings deposited using a hybrid sputtering technique. These multilayers exhibit friction coefficients below 0.1 when tested…
Towards predictive modelling of near-edge structures in electron energy loss spectra of AlN based ternary alloys
David Holec, Richard Rachbauer, Daniel Kiener +5
Although electron energy loss near edge structure analysis provides a tool for experimentally probing unoccupied density of states, a detailed comparison with simulations is necess…
