The Electrical Properties of Thin Films of TiN* and TiC*

چکیده
Thin films of metallically conductive titanium mononitride and carbide were prepared by means of electron beam evaporation. The composition of the samples could be changed over appreciable ranges by introducing nitrogen in the system or adding carbon to the pure starting material, respectively. The transport properties of the resulting compounds were studied as a function of nonstoichiometry and defect structure. A plausible explanation for the different behavior of the films compared to corresponding bulk samples is given and a correlation between the change in electron concentration and the electron transfer theory is presented.
