Understanding the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of transparent Al-O-N and Al-Si-O-N films

Optically transparent, colorless Al-O-N and Al-Si-O-N coatings with discretely varied O and Si contents were fabricated by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering (R-DCMS) from elemental Al and Si targets and O2 and N2 reactive gases. The Si/Al content was adjusted through the electrical power...
