Multilayer amorphous TiB_{x}/TiSi_{y}C_{z} coatings were formed by duplex treatment: dual beam ion beam assisted deposition and pulsed laser deposition. Post-deposition heating was applied to activate crystallization in the coating. In situ transmission electron microscopy heating experiments were conducted in the temperature range 20-600°C. Crystallization of TiB₂ phase in TiB_{x} layers begun at...
