Self-organization of a carbide superlattice during deposition of carbon on Mo.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formation and evolution of a carbide superlattice (SL) during C deposition on Mo have been studied using molecular beam epitaxy techniques. The ordering of the SL is energetically driven, such that the interplay between strain and surface energies determines the length scale of the SL. Surface precipitation of C occurs within a narrow range of SL spacing that appears to control the size and spacing of the precipitates leading to a possible mechanism for nucleation of single-walled carbon nanotubes.

متن کاملInvestigation of hydrogen plasma treatment for reducing defects in silicon quantum dot superlattice structure with amorphous silicon carbide matrix
We investigate the effects of hydrogen plasma treatment (HPT) on the properties of silicon quantum dot superlattice films. Hydrogen introduced in the films efficiently passivates silicon and carbon dangling bonds at a treatment temperature of approximately 400°C. The total dangling bond density decreases from 1.1 × 1019 cm-3 to 3.7 × 1017 cm-3, which is comparable to the defect density of typic...
متن کاملMagnetic composites based on metallic nickel and molybdenum carbide: a potential material for pollutants removal.
New magnetic composites based on metallic nickel and molybdenum carbide, Ni/Mo(2)C, have been produced via catalytic chemical vapor deposition from ethanol. Scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the CVD process occurs in a single step. This process involves the reduction of NiMo oxides at different temperatures (700, 800 an...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Diffusion Barrier Coatings for Mo-Re Embedded in C / SiC and C / C
Advanced high-temperature cooling applications such as heat-pipe-cooled leading edges may often require the elevated-temperature capability of carbon/silicon carbide (C/SiC) or carbon/carbon (C/C) composites in combination with the hermetic capability of metallic tubes. In some applications, it may be advantageous to co-process metallic tubes with the composite. Under those conditions, it is im...
