摘要：

Thin film composites consisting of metallic nanocrystals embedded in an insulating host have been synthesized using alternating-target pulsed laser deposition of Ni and Al2O3 on silicon (100) substrate. The evaluation of structural quality of the thin film composites using high resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy with atomic number contrast has revealed the formation of a biphase system with thermodynamically driven segregation of Ni and alumina during pulsed laser deposition. The best hardness values of the thin film composites, measured using nanoindentation techniques, were found to be 20-30% larger than pure alumina films fabricated under identical conditions. Fracture toughness measurements of the composite showed slight toughening due to embedding of Ni nanoparticles. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
