1. Novel Interstitial Mg–TM (TM = Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb and Ta) Hydrides with an FCC Structure and CaNiH3 with a Perovskite Structure
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on structural investigations of novel interstitial ternary alkaline-earth–transition metal hydrides formed by immiscible metals that are held together by the presence of hydrogen atoms. The contents are divided in two parts: Metastable Mg-based hydrides, in which transition-metal additives improve hydrogen storage properties; and a new Ca–Ni hydride, CaNiH3, with a perovskite structure, in which hydrogen enables a Ca:Ni =1:1 ratio although no such alloy composition exists.

2. Atom Probe Tomography of Hard Nitride and Boride Thin Films
Sammanfattning : Hard ceramic thin films, including TiSiN, ZrAlN, ZrB2, and ZrTaB2, with applications for wear-resistant coatings, have been studied using atom probe tomography and correlated with several other analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and elastic recoil detection analysis. Outstanding obstacles for quantitative atom probe tomography of ceramic thin films have been surmounted. LÄS MER
3. Aspects of Structural Evolution in Cemented Carbide – Carbide Size, Shape and Stability
Sammanfattning : Cemented carbide is a composite material used in applications like cutting tools and rock drilling inserts. The material commonly consists of WC grains embedded in a Co-rich binder phase and the material properties strongly depend on the WC grain size. LÄS MER
4. Me-Si-C (Me= Nb, Ti or Zr) : Nanocomposite and Amorphous Thin Films
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates thin films of the transition metal carbide systems Ti-Si-C, Nb-Si-C, and Zr-Si-C, deposited at a low substrate temperature (350 °C) with dc magnetron sputtering in an Ar discharge. Both the electrical and mechanical properties of these systems are highly affected by their structure. LÄS MER
5. Synthesis and Evaluation of TaC:C Low-Friction Coatings
Sammanfattning : In the large family of carbon-based coatings there are members capable of providing a rare and very desirable combination of high wear resistance and low friction. The field of application for this kind of coatings is steadily increasing which, naturally, give raise to new questions and demands. LÄS MER
