X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study the interfacial chemistries of a 65-Å film prepared by depositing zirconium in an oxidizing environment onto a methane-pretreated 11-Å thick zirconium oxide film, which initially was deposited onto a gold substrate. The second metal deposition results in an outermost region composed of a mixed zirconium oxide, while below there is metallic zirconium followed by zirconium carbide and carbon on top of the first zirconium oxide film, which is itself in contact with the gold. The carbide component showed no changes on heating to 425°C, on treating with a hydrogen plasma at room temperature, or on heating the resulting film to 425°C. The oxide layers do show characteristic changes, and this also contrasts with earlier observations for a zirconium sulphide film. The zirconium carbide Zr3d 5/2 component has a binding energy of 180.6 eV.

Abstract The effect of cathodic pretreatment at −1.3 V vs a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) on the passivity of Kroll zirconium in 5, 10, and 20 vol % H2SO4 solution at room temperature was determined through potentiostatic anodic polarization studies. The cathodic treatment made the attainment of passivity easier and reduced the passive currents considerably. Studies on potential vs time and active and passive currents vs time indicated a protective film formation during the cathodic treatment. The possibility of a zirconium oxide film formation due to cathodic polarization induced alkalinity at −1.3 V (SCE) is discussed.
