Carbon nitride has fascinat e properties such as high hardness and high<br />
current de nsity of field em ission and so on. In addition, if c-C3N4 or β-<br />
C3N4 structure can be sy nthesized, it is possibl e to obtain high ha rdness<br />
excee ding that of diam ond. Authors tried to obtain cry stal carbon nitride,<br />
cry st alline deposit s were obtained from a CH4-N2 reaction gas sy stem<br />
using mi crowave plasm a C VD . On the other hand, it has been reported<br />
that the friction coefficient of am orphous carbon nitride (CNx) was lower<br />
than 0.01 i n N2 atmo sphere. However, tribo logical characteristics of cry<br />
stalline carbon nitride were not cleared . So, investigation was carried out<br />
on the tribol ogical characteristics of cry stalline carbon nitrid e sy nthesized<br />
using MW- PCVD.<br />
Carbon nitride was sy nthes ized using mi crowave plasma CVD. The m<br />
ixture of CH4-N2 gas was used a s a reaction gas. CH4 flow rate was varied<br />
from 1 to 3 SCCM, and N2 flow rate was fixed to 100 SCCM. Sy nthesis<br />
pressure was fixed to 4.0 kPa, and microwave po wer was fix ed to 20 0 W.<br />
Reaction time was fixed to 3h. Si was used as the substrate. Surfaces of the<br />
deposits were obser ve d using SEM. The deposits were esti mated by Ra<br />
ma n spectroscopy, AES, and XPS. Tribologi cal properties of th e deposits<br />
were estimated by using of a ball-on-dis k friction tester . Measurements are<br />
conducted by usi ng of load 0.1N, speed of sliding 6.2mm/s and counterpart<br />
materi als SU J2 or Si3N4 4.7mm in dia meter, respe cti vely. Wear<br />
properties of the deposits we re esti mated by using of a surface r oughness<br />
test er.<br />
As a result of SEM observation, crystalline deposits similar to the rods of<br />
hexagonal were observed for all conditions. The particle size was increased<br />
with increasing of CH4 flow rate. From AES esti mation, the peaks of C, N,<br />
O, and Si were obser ved in AES sp ectra of eac h samp les. N2 content was<br />
increased wi th increasing of CH4 flow rate. From XPS measurem ent, C-N<br />
bond and Si3N4 were observed in X PS spectra of each sample s. The<br />
lowest coefficient about 0.51 against SUJ2 was obtained for deposits sy<br />
nthesized in CH4 flow rate 3 SCCM in the estimation of tribological<br />
properties. And the lo west co efficient is about 0.41 agains t Si3N4 for<br />
deposits sy nthesized in CH4 flow rate 1 SCCM. As a r esult of estim ation<br />
of wear dept h, wear depth was decr ea sed with increasing of CH4 flow<br />
rate.<br />
As a conclusion, tri bologi cal characteristics of cry st alline carbon nitride<br />
sy nt hesized using MW-PCVD were depended on N2 content of the<br />
deposits.<br />
9:40am E1-2-6 The Role of Planar Defects in Achieving Low Friction<br />
and Wear in Lubricious Oxide <strong>Coating</strong>s, V. Ageh, H. Mohseni, T. Scharf<br />
(scharf@unt.edu), The University of North Texas, US<br />
This presentation will discuss how defect structure in atomic layer<br />
deposited ceramic coatings (transition metal oxides and in situ formed<br />
carbides) determines the thermal/oxidative and friction/wear properties in<br />
cellular solids, such as carbon-based composites and foams. Specifically,<br />
we will discuss (a) how interstitial carbide and oxide phases, such as ZrC<br />
and ZrO2, provide thermal and oxidation resistance to carbon, and (b) how<br />
lubricious, nanocrystalline layered ceramics, such as high basal stacking<br />
fault density ZnO, and low crystallographic shear, oxygen deficient Magnéli<br />
phases, such as TiO2-x, mitigate friction and wear. Two important questions<br />
will be addressed: (1) Can the coating systems be processed with<br />
thermodynamically and kinetically stable oxide and carbide phases and<br />
interfaces? (2) How will the defect structure (planar stacking faults and<br />
vacancies/interstitials) of these phases be able to accommodate interfacial<br />
shear while providing sufficient hardness and elastic modulus?<br />
10:00am E1-2-7 Structure and properties of nanocomposite DLC<br />
coatings on hard and soft substrates, J.T. DeHosson<br />
(j.t.m.de.hosson@rug.nl), University of Groningen, Netherlands INVITED<br />
Combined HR-XTEM and nanoindentation investigations were carried out<br />
to study the deformation behavior and toughening mechanism of DLC films<br />
deposited by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering on hard substrates (steel) and<br />
soft substrates (rubber). In case of nc-TiC/a-C(:H) nanocompostie films the<br />
nanocomposite structure evolves from a multilayer structure with a<br />
wavelength of about 10 nm to uniform nanograins with increasing Ti<br />
contents. Depth sensitive nanoindentations revealed excellent toughness<br />
with significantly suppressed cracking tendency while maintaining high<br />
hardness. These results will be compared with DLC coatings on viscoelastic<br />
substrates like rubber and focusing on the nature of the coefficient of<br />
friction (CoF). The relative importance of the various contributions, e.g.<br />
viscoelastic and adhesive contributions to the overall friction will be<br />
discussed.<br />

10:40am E1-2-9 Synthesis and Tribological Behavior of MoS2-Au<br />
Nanocomposite Films, R. Goeke (rsgoeke@sandia.gov), Sandia National<br />
<strong>Lab</strong>oratories, US, T. Scharf, The University of North Texas, US, P. Kotula,<br />

Robust solid lubricant coatings are needed to survive humid oxidizing<br />
environments in many applications. The addition of dopants to MoS2 films<br />
has been previously shown to enhance the lubricant durability [Acta Mater.,<br />
58 Scharf et al.]. This study focuses on the synthesis of Au doped MoS2<br />
nano-composite thin films created by co-sputter deposition as a function of<br />
temperature. The ratio of the deposition flux was adjusted to control the<br />
composition to about 10% Au by weight. (Scanning) transmission electron<br />
microscopy (S)TEM revealed that the room temperature deposited nanocomposite<br />
consisted of 2-4 nm size Au particles in a matrix of semicrystalline<br />
MoS2. With increasing growth temperatures, the nano-composite<br />
exhibited dramatic structural changes: the Au nanoparticles coarsened by<br />
diffusion-driven Ostwald ripening to 5-10 nm size and the MoS2 basal<br />
planes encapsulated the Au nanoparticles thereby forming a novel solid Au<br />
core MoS2 nano-onion like structures. In comparison, a room temperature<br />
deposited film was heated, post deposition, to 600°C inside a TEM. In situ<br />
TEM heating revealed that Au nanoparticles also coarsened, but unlike<br />
heating during film growth, the highly ordered basal planes with reactive<br />
edge sites did not encapsulate the Au. This suggests that MoS2 surface<br />
diffusivity and energy during film growth is different than MoS2 bulk<br />
diffusion where the thermal activation energy for diffusion is likely smaller<br />
in the latter. Friction and wear measurements were made using a ball-ondisk<br />
tribometer in air with 50% RH. The role of these novel structures on<br />
the tribological behavior of the films in humid environments will be<br />
discussed.<br />

11:00am E1-2-10 Electrodeposited of gold-multiwalled carbon<br />
nanotube to improve lubrication of composite films, P.-A. Gay (pierreantoine.gay@he-arc.ch),<br />
Haute Ecole ARC Ingenierie, Switzerland<br />
Gold-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite films were<br />
elaborated by electrodeposition and co-deposition of CVD process.<br />
Tribological properties were investigated by a pin-on-disk type friction<br />
testing using an electronical system to mesured in same time the electrical<br />
conductivity of the composite coatings.<br />
Friction coefficient of gold–MWCNT composite films decreased with<br />
increasing MWCNT content. Implantation of MWCNT on the surface,<br />
plating parameters, MWCNT concentration and the stirring rate of the bath<br />
were systematically investigated in order to found a relationship between<br />
incorporation rate V and friction coefficient and electrical conductivity. The<br />
Au-0.5 mass% MWCNT composite film showed the minimum friction<br />
coefficient value of 0.15. In this case, wear resistance of Au-MWCNT is<br />
tree time better.<br />
11:20am E1-2-11 A systematic study of suberlubricity potential of ta-C<br />
coatings, V. Weihnacht (volker.weihnacht@iws.fraunhofer.de), S.<br />
Makowski, G. Englberger, A. Leson, Fraunhofer IWS, Germany<br />
Hydrogen-free tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films are known to<br />
display super-low friction behaviour under mixed lubrication conditions in<br />
combination with specific polyalcohols. There is a huge interest to use this<br />
effect for technical application in order to reduce friction loss e.g. on engine<br />
components or gears and using environmentally friendly lubricants at the<br />
same time. Although there are some tribological investigation and first<br />
approaches to explain the phenomenon there is still a lack of comprehensive<br />
data and understanding of superlubricity behaviour of ta-C.<br />
In this contribution, ta-C coatings with different sp3-contents deposited by<br />
laser-arc evaporation were investigated by oscillating ball-on-disk<br />
tribometry at different temperatures. For lubrication, glycerine,<br />
glycerolmonooleate, glycol, and other OH-containing lubricants were tested<br />
in order to find out the chemical origin of the superlubricity effect. By<br />
systematic variation of testing conditions a critical temperature and a kickin<br />
behaviour for superlow-friction effect was observed depending on sp3content<br />
and lubricant type. A significant influence of lubricant type on wear<br />
behaviour was found which does not correlate with friction behaviour.<br />
Besides experimental friction and wear data, analytical investigation of<br />
friction surfaces helped to understand some experimental findings.<br />
