Synthesis and characterizations of tungsten nitride thin films on zirconium substrate by using plasma focus device / Waqar Ahmad - Lahore : Division of Science & Technology, University of Education, 2018 - xii, 71 p. CD

Tungstun Nitride thin film is synthesized on zirconium substrate with the assistance of
Mather-type plasma focus framework at the room temperature. So as to deposit the
hard coatings on various substrates, the gadget was charged at 18KV.The surface
properties of exposed substrates were resolved for structure of the crystals, surface
morphology and mechanical properties with the assistance of the surface properties of
the exposed substrate against various statement shots were analyzed for structure of
the crystal, surface morphology and mechanical properties utilizing X-Ray diffraction
(XRD), atomic force microscopy, examining electron magnifying instrument. The
XRD results demonstrate the schematic development of WN, WN2, Zr2N and W2Zr
phases and the improvement of stored films by shifting the quantity of deposition
shots.
The Morphology of stored films demonstrates the critical change with various particle
energy doses (number of testimony shots) in the surface structure. Because of the
impact of various particle energy doses, atomic force microscopy explored the Film
harshness and that uncovered impact of variety in plasma focus shots around surface
unpleasantness which is observed to be expanded with increment in plasma focus
shots prompts an enhancement of hardness of deposit films. The focusing efficiency is
depended on working gas pressures and it is discovered that for higher (1.25 mbar)
weight, great focus is accomplished, relatively bringing about the emanation of higher
energetic particles. The synthesized thin films demonstrate the grain measure is firmly
affected by expanding in focus shots.
