Changes of Crystal Structure and Microstructure of MoN Coatings in Accordance with Inductively Coupled Plasma Power

Nano-crystalline MoN coatings were prepared by inductively coupled plasma magnetron sputtering (ICPMS) according to changing the plasma power from 0 to 200 W. The properties of the coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, a na...
