Abstract:
We report the production and characterization of nanocomposite thin films consisting of a titanium nitride matrix with embedded molybdenum disulphide fullerene-like nanoparticles. This was achieved by combining a cluster source generating a pulsed supersonic beam of MoS2 clusters with an industrial cathodic arc reactive evaporation apparatus used for TiN deposition. Cluster-assembled films show the presence of MoS2 nanocages and nanostructures and the survival of such structures dispersed in the TiN matrix in the co-deposited samples. Nanotribological characterization by atomic force microscopy shows that the presence of MoS2 nanoparticles even in very low concentration modifies the behaviour of the TiN matrix.
