Structure and Bonding in Amorphous Cr1−xCx Nanocomposite Thin Films: X‐ray Absorption Spectra and First-Principles Calculations
The local structure and chemical bonding in two-phase amorphous Cr1−xCx nanocomposite thin films are investigated by Cr K-edge (1s) X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies in comparison to theory. By utilizing the computationally efficient stochastic quenching (SQ) technique, we reveal the complexity of different Cr-sites ...
متن کاملStructure and bonding in amorphous iron carbide thin films.
We investigate the amorphous structure, chemical bonding, and electrical properties of magnetron sputtered Fe(1-xCx) (0.21 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.72) thin films. X-ray, electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy show that the Fe(1-xCx) films are amorphous nanocomposites, consisting of a two-phase domain structure with Fe-rich carbidic FeC(y), and a carbon-rich matrix. Pair distribution function...
متن کاملCarbide and nanocomposite thin films in the Ti-Pt-C system
Thin films in the Ti-Pt-C system were deposited by non-reactive, DC-magnetron sputtering. Samples were characterised using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. A previously not reported metastable solid solution carbide, (Ti1xPtx)Cy with a Pt/Ti ratio of up to 0.43 was observed. This solid solution phase was present both as single phase in p...
متن کاملPhase Formation of Nanolaminated Transition Metal Carbide Thin Films
Research on inherently nanolaminated transition metal carbides is inspired by their unique properties combining metals and ceramics, such as higher damage tolerance, better machinability and lower brittleness compared to the binary counterparts, yet retaining the metallic conductivity. The interesting properties are related to their laminated structure, composed of transition-metal carbide laye...
متن کاملIn Situ Observations of Phase Transitions in Metastable Nickel (Carbide)/Carbon Nanocomposites
Nanocomposite thin films comprised of metastable metal carbides in a carbon matrix have a wide variety of applications ranging from hard coatings to magnetics and energy storage and conversion. While their deposition using nonequilibrium techniques is established, the understanding of the dynamic evolution of such metastable nanocomposites under thermal equilibrium conditions at elevated temper...
