Boron nitride thin layers were produced by means of the pulsed laser deposition technique from hexagonal boron nitride target.
Two types of laser i.e. Nd:YAG with Q-switch as well as KrF coupled with RF generator were used. Influence of deposition parameters on
surface morphology, phase composition as well as mechanical properties is discussed. Results obtained using Fourier Transformed Infrared
Spectroscopy, Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy are presented. Micromechanical properties measured
during microindentation, scratch and wear tests are also shown. |
