| Description | In this contribution, we will focus on the Zr1-X(Cu-Ni-Me)X system, where Me can be Al, Ti or Ta. This system is interesting for its ultrasmooth texture, corrosion stability due to passivation by ZrO2, strong hydrophobicity, low coefficient of friction, self-healing and antibacterial properties. The thin film metallic glasses will be prepared by DC and pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering to remain between the glass transition temperature of ~ 420°C while allowing us to tailor the energy distribution and flux of the ions bombarding the growing films. We will present the effect of the content of the constituent elements on the structure, morphology, mechanical properties, and hydrophobicity of the systems. |
