Abstract Sputtering enables uniform and clean deposition over a large area, which is an issue with exfoliation and chemi-cal vapor deposition methods. On the other hand, the process of physical vapor deposition (PVD) film formationhas not yet been clarified. We prepared several samples from the sub-monolayer region, and performed Ra-man spectroscopy, X-ray photon spectroscopy and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electronmicroscopy. From these results, the internal stresses inherent to PVD films, the bonding states specific to sub-monolayers, and the unique film structure and the grain formation process of PVD films were discussed fromthe perspective of sub-monolayers. As a conclusion, we found that it is important to suppress the formation ofsub-monolayers on the substrate to completely form the first layer.

In recent years, the smart materials have attracted much attention due to their unusual properties such as shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity, being widely used for biomedical implants. These materials contain certain amounts of nickel, titanium and others which are not adequate for surgical implants and prosthesis. In the work reported here, two types of nonostructured multilayer coatings (TiN/ZrN, ZrN/Zr) used to prevent the ions release from shape memory alloys were investigated. For comparison, the TiN and ZrN monolayers were also examined. The films were deposited onto nickel-titanium based alloy (Ti-Ni-Nb) and Ni substrates by vacuum arc deposition technique under various deposition conditions. The concentrations of dissolved ions in Ringer solution for uncoated and coated Ni samples were determined to examine the benefic barrier effect of these coatings for ions release from shape memory alloys. In order to have a more complete characterization of the investigated coatings, other properties such as elemental and phase composition, morphology, texture, microhardness, and adhesion were studied. For all coatings, the concentrations of dissolved ions were lower that those measured in the case of the uncoated specimens. The nanostructured multilayer films exhibited the best mechanical and anticorrosive properties.
