  • Abstract
    Chromium nitride (CrN) films have been successfully prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Experiment was carried out by changing the substrate temperature from R.T. to 600°C. The hardness of the films increased gradually with an increase in the substrate temperature up to 400°C, above which it decreased rapidly. Furthermore, the maximum value was HV∼2000. The rapid decrease in the hardness induced at the formation of ellipsoidal grains. The boundaries of these grains seem to be structural defect.
