In this thesis, we demonstrate that original nanostructures can be obtained by working around the crystalline-to-amorphous transition in sputter-deposited thin films. In particular, we study two systems, Zr-Mo and Zr-W, in which such transition occurs. By decreasing the Mo content in the Zr-Mo system, a structural transition from a nanocrystalline solid solution of Zr in the bcc lattice of Mo to an amorphous structure can be achieved around 60 at% Mo. The films obtained present high hardness H, low Young's modulus E and, consequently, high H/E ratio compared with bulk Zr and Mo. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a self-separation of the nanocrystalline and the amorphous phases occurs at the composition intermediate to those necessary to form...
