Due to the high infrared absorption coefficient of lead sulfide (PbS) and lead selenide (PbSe) as well as the ultra-high carrier mobility of graphene (Gr), the vdWH formed between these materials are suitable for fabricating high-performance infrared photodetectors. However, studies on the hybrid structures of PbS and PbSe with graphene have primarily focused on experimental outcomes, with insufficient theoretical discussion on the electronic structural characteristics. In this study, first-principles methods were employed to investigate the electronic structure properties of PbS/Gr and PbSe/Gr vdWHs, including their band structures, work functions, and charge density distributions. The results reveal that the band structure of each material remains largely unchanged upon forming the heterojunction, and the overall band structure of the heterojunction can be regarded as a superposition of the isolated components. Importantly, there is a significant overlap in the band structures of PbS and PbSe, individually, with that of graphene near the Fermi level, which facilitates the charges transport between them. Moreover, opposite local electric fields and inhomogeneous charge distribution were found at the heterojunction interface, suggesting an inspiring path to further optimize the charge transport at the nanoscale. Such findings are not only beneficial for improving the interface engineering of PbX (X = S, Se)/Gr-based photodetectors, but also provide illuminating insights into advancing the meticulous design of various optoelectronic devices with extensive vdWHs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"507 ","pages":"Article 132145"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the information about the effect of Al content on the thermal stability of TiAlSiN coatings is limited. Furthermore, many studies changed the Al content together with Si contents when exploring the influence on microstructure and mechanical properties. Here, we deposited Ti<sub>1-x-y</sub>Al<sub>x</sub>Si<sub>y</sub>N (<em>x</em> = 0.02–0.36, <em>y</em> = 0.12–0.13) coatings with different Al contents and almost constant Si contents by cathodic arc deposition.

All as-deposited Ti<sub>1-x-y</sub>Al<sub>x</sub>Si<sub>y</sub>N coatings exhibit a single-phase cubic structure. Transmission electron microscope analysis shows that Si substitutes Ti and/or Al to form solid solution structure. Ti<sub>1-x-y</sub>Al<sub>x</sub>Si<sub>y</sub>N coatings show close hardness of ∼ 38 GPa. The increase of Al content effectively improves the ability to maintain high hardness after annealing.

The effect of residual background gases on the interface and surface morphology was investigated by using grazing incidence X-ray reflectivity, X-ray diffuse scattering, optical profiler, and atomic force microscope. High background pressure contributes to increased interface roughness, intensified interface diffusion, reduced lateral correlation length, and diminished vertical correlation. An increased root-mean-square surface roughness in high spatial frequency range is observed in case of high background pressure.

Unlike conventional plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), the soft-sparking ECO process operates under milder conditions and avoids dielectric breakdown, producing more uniform, adherent coatings even on complex geometries.
