摘要：

Nanoscale deformation in TiC/a-C nanocomposite coatings is revealed by combined nanoindentation and high resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. A process characterized by rearrangement of TiC nanocrystallites and the displacement of a-C matrix is found to dominate the deformation mechanism at length scales ranging from tens of nanometers down to 1 nm and contributes to toughening of the nanocomposite coatings by delocalizing local plastic deformations.
