Tissue phase affected fracture toughness of nano-columnar TiB2 + z thin films
Structural imperfections such as nano-columnar tissue phases constitute a morphological design feature in protective thin films. Especially in the rising group of PVD transition metal diborides, excess Boron is known to form nm-sized B-rich precipitations in-between nano-crystalline domains. Here, w...
