INITIAL STAGES OF GROWTH OF Co/Pt (100) AND Co/Cr (110)

چکیده
The investigation of the initial stages of growth of cobalt at room temperature on respectively Pt(100) and Cr(ll0) surfaces has been undertaken to test the possibilities of obtaining modulated metallic magnetic multilayers having new interesting magnetic properties. Using surface physics analytical methods enabled to establish the growth mode (Franck-van der Merwe), to find that no epitaxy occurs between the layers even if the growth is homogeneous. In the case of ColCr, the disorder existing at the interface has been described. For Pt/Co, an interfacial electronic state characteristic of the Pt atoms being in the vicinity of cobalt has been demonstrated.

Effect of TiO2 nano-particles on corrosion behavior of Co-Cr alloy coatings in simulated body fluid
Co-Cr and Co-Cr/nano-TiO2 coatings were electrodeposited from Cr(III) based baths. The effect of TiO2 nano-particles incorporation on the morphology, structure, crystallite size, and preferred orientation was studied. Corrosion behavior of the composite coating was also investigated by means of polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in Hanks’ si...

The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation o...
متن کاملFrom Initial to Late Stages of Epitaxial Thin Film Growth: STM Analysis and Atomistic or CoarseGrained Modeling
Epitaxial thin film growth by vapor deposition or molecular beam epitaxy under ultra‐high vacuum conditions generally occurs in two stages: (i) nucleation and growth of well‐separated islands on the substrate; (ii) subsequent formation of a thicker continuous film with possible kinetic roughening. For homoepitaxial growth, two‐dimensional (2D) monolayer islands are formed during submonolayer de...

Electrical, structural and morphological properties of Ni silicide films formed in Ni(Pt 4at.% )/Si(100) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt4at.% )/Si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oC were studied. The Ni(Pt) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively. The annealing process of the structur...
متن کاملSmall molecules control the formation of Pt nanocrystals: a key role of carbon monoxide in the synthesis of Pt nanocubes.
In many previous studies, nonaqueous synthesis of Pt nanocubes with tunable size has been achieved by the use of metal carbonyls (e.g., Fe(CO)(5), Co(2)(CO)(8), W(CO)(6)). The presence of zero-valent metals in the carbonyls was demonstrated as the key factor to the nanocube formation but the role of CO was entirely ignored. By using CO alone, we have now demonstrated that the favorable growth o...
