Abstract
Three diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with classic chromium-based transitions containing a typical step-like gradient, a linear gradient and a modulation period, were deposited using a mid-frequency dual-magnetron sputtering system. Studies were performed on samples with almost the same Cr content to compare the interfacial structures and compositions of the three chromium-based transitions, and to investigate the internal stress, adhesion strength, and fracture toughness of the films. The synergistic effect of the transitions deterministically influenced the interfacial properties. The films with a linear gradient had the optimal interfacial properties when compared with the other two films. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
