On the low temperature mixing processes in metal/ceramic interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Heavy ions in materials science can be used for many applications concerning changes in composition, structure and physical properties. The modification of interfaces in bi-layer samples is frequently performed by ion beam mixing experiments [1-4]. However, the mixing behaviour of the components is much more complicated than in the earlier studied metal/metal systems, because of the more complex structure of the ceramic materials. Samples with different composition (Fe, Cu, Ni, Pt, Zr, Ti and TiO2 on Al2O3, SiO2, MgO and SiC-substrates) were prepared by molecular-beam-epitaxy. The samples were irradiated at the GSI 300kV implantation facility with 150 keV Ar ions at different temperatures. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) was used to obtain the element depth profiles. The surface topography and the surface roughness was studied with a high resolution scanning electron microscope (Philips XL 30 FEG) and with atomic force microscopy (AFM) . The RBS spectra were converted to depth profiles by using the computer code ndf [5]. The width (σf) and the position of the interface was calculated using an error function. The measured and calculated mixing rates are shown in figure 1. In many systems (Cu/Al2O3, Cu/SiC, Fe/Al2O3, Fe/SiO2, Fe/SiC,

The thermomechanical buckling of simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material is presented in this paper. A metal-ceramic functionally graded shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure metal on the inner surface to pure ceramic on the outer surfa...

We show the existence of a reversible, complementary and polarity dependant electric pulse-induced resistance (EPIR) switching effects in Au=YBa2Cu3O7 d ceramic superconductor interfaces. Non-volatile high and low resistance states and transition regions between them are obtained as a function of the amplitude and polarity of the pulsing voltage. Relaxation processes of the resistivity after ap...

In this work the structure and chemistry of intergranular films at metal–ceramic interfaces was investigated via detailed microstructural characterization of model metal–Al2O3 nanocomposites. We report here experimental results indicating the formation and stability of equilibrium nanometer-thick films at metal–ceramic interfaces. Thin 1 nm interface films were observed for two different metal–...
