This volume contains proceedings of the NATO-Russia Advanced
Research Workshop on Nanostructured Thin Films and Nanodispersion
Strengthened Coatings (December, 2003, Moscow). During this
Workshop leading researchers from twelve countries had presented
and discussed most recent developments in the fields of plasma
physics and surface engineering related to the preparation and
applications of nanostructured thin films and nanodispersion
strengthened coatings. These presentations are encompassed in 31
individual chapters. The chapters are assembled in five parts in
according to the workshop sessions. Part I is a compilation of
chapters on hard and tribological coatings. The recent advances in
this area are significant in that it is now possible to engineer
strong, hard, and tough coatings that can operate at temperatures
higher than 1200 ?C and exhibit 'smart', adaptive characteristics.
These coatings are based on an amorphous matrix, e. g. nitrides,
carbides, borides, or carbon, in which there is a controlled
nucleation and growth of ultra hard nanoparticles of crystalline
carbides, nitrides, borides and oxides. The critical feature is the
control of both the particle size, i. e. , less than 10 nm, and
interpartical spacing of a few nanometers. The 'smart' or adaptive
characteristic is engineered into the nanostructures using similar
sized (less than 10 nm) particles of metallic chalcogenidese,
ductile metals, or glass forming elements to provide high lubricity
and chemical adaptation at the environment change, e. g. , high and
low humidities and temperatures.
