Summary:

This dissertation by Hanna Kindlund explores the enhancement of toughness in hard nitride materials, specifically focusing on V-Mo-N and V-W-N alloys. The study investigates the growth, structural, and mechanical properties of these alloys as thin films. It demonstrates that alloying VN with WN and MoN increases hardness and reduces brittleness, enhancing ductility and wear resistance. Through theoretical calculations and experimental results, the research provides insights into the electronic structure and bonding that contribute to these properties. The work aims to guide the development of new, tougher materials for industrial applications where high stress resistance is critical. Generated by AI.
