Popis: A carbon nitride phase with primarily sp3-bonded carbon is stabilized in CNx/ZrN superlattice coatings. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements give a N/C atomic ratio ∼1.3 for the CNx layers. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Z-contrast imaging from the superlattice show a well-defined layer structure. Raman and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy results reveal the formation of sp3-bonded carbon atoms in short-period CNx/ZrN superlattices.
