Reduction of the coefficient of friction of niobium nitride coatings by the addition of bismuth

Composite coatings of niobium nitride containing bismuth inclusions were deposited using a dual magnetron sputtering system with independent power suppliers for each targets; Bi and Nb. The deposition was performed under and Ar/N2 atmosphere at a 2.3 flow rate ratio, which allows the stoichiometric...
