Hard and Soft Multilayered SiCN Nanocoatings with High Hardness and Toughness

Alternate hard and soft layers increase deformation accommodation as thin hard layers slide relative to each other due to shear deformation of low modulus layers. However, the processing of such multilayers is challenging. In the present paper the alternating soft and hard multilayered SiCN coat...
