Fundamental Atomistic Insights into Tunable Tribological Performance of NbC/Nb Films through Thickness and Depth Effects

Ceramic–metal nanolaminates (CMNLs) are promising scratch-resistant coatings, but knowledge gaps remain regarding the interactive effects of individual layer thickness and scratch depth. This study employed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the tribological performance of NbC/Nb CMNLs, s...
