Popis: Cr2O3 and (Cr,Al)(2)O-3 films were grown using reactive dc and inductively coupled plasma magnetron sputtering at substrate temperatures of 300-450 degrees C. For pure chromia, alpha-Cr2O3 films with fiber texture were grown; the out-of-plane texture could be controlled from andlt; 0001 andgt; to andlt;10andlt;(1)over barandgt;4andgt;. The former texture was obtained as a consequence of competitive growth with no applied bias or inductively coupled plasma, while the latter was obtained at moderate bias ( - 50 V), probably due to recrystallization driven by ion-bombardment-induced strain. By reactive codeposition of Cr and Al, a corundum-structured metastable solid solution alpha-(Cr,Al)(2)O-3 with Cr/Al ratios of 2-10 was grown with a dense, fine-grained morphology. Hardness and reduced elastic modulus values were in the ranges 24-27 GPa and 190-230 GPa, respectively.
