  "main_findings": "TiNx (TiN) films deposited using DC reactive magnetron sputtering with a superimposed EMF system showed improved electrical properties, reflectance, and crystallinity compared with the stated DCMS+EMF condition, attributed to enhanced nitrification. The lowest sheet resistance reported was 2.9 Ω/⟂ (resistivity 5.8 × 10^-5 Ω·cm) at F(N)2 = 16%, and mixed (111)/(200) phases had lower resistivity than a (200) single phase.",
