| Abstract | ABSTRACT: During the summer of 2008 pulsed laser deposition (PLD) experiments were performed at Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT). Traditionally Chromium Magnesium Oxynitride thin films have successfully been synthesized and characterized by PLD and electrostatic accelerator for Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) respectively. In addition TiNO has also been successfully been synthesized and characterized. From these studies it is anticipated that it is possible to prepare titanium magnesium oxynitride (Ti-Mg-N-O) films by a combination of high pressure sintering methods and PLD. One common interest between the Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) and the University of South Florida (USF) groups is deposition of hard thin film coatings. Ti-Mg-N-O was chosen as a possible material for PLD because hard coatings like this have great potential for reducing the cost of replace and or maintaining the structure function of many abrasive materials. |
