Abstract
In one aspect, methods of making coated articles are described herein. A method, in some embodiments, comprises providing a substrate, and depositing a coating by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and/or physical vapor deposition (PVD) over a surface of the substrate, the coating comprising at least one polycrystalline layer, wherein one or more CVD and/or PVD conditions are selected to induce one or more properties of the polycrystalline layer. The presence of the one or more properties in the polycrystalline layer is quantified by two-dimensional (2D) X-ray diffraction analysis.
