Abstract

Thin ceramic films (A12O3 ZrO2, Si3N4, and BN) have been prepared by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and their mechanical properties examined. The films exhibit extreme ductility and adhesion, with the former property possibly attributed to the very fine grained, quasi-amorphous grain structure noted for low temperature IBAD coatings.
