Superlattices are effective though experimentally simply-enough accessible microstructural design which allows tuning phase stability and mechanical properties beyond limits of their parent phases. In this contribution we report on our first principles calculations focusing on MoN and TaN, both of which prefer vacancies in their cubic-structured bulk forms. Interestingly, the vacancies strongly segregate to the MoN phase when combined with TaN into superlattices with bi-layer periods in a nm range. This trend based on energetics is further confirmed by evaluating mechanical stability based on elastic constants as well as dynamical stability from lattice vibrations. As a results, we could predict that the most stable configuration for typical conditions during magnetron sputtering, should be MoNx/TaN system with N vacancies in the MoN phase. This theoretical prediction was experimentally confirmed by X-ray diffraction and an elemental analysis in transmission electron microscope for our reactively-sputtered superlattices.
