Under normal circumstances, Pt dissolves only a very small amount of interstitial carbon in solid solution. Even so, an appropriate quench/age treatment leads to the formation of stable Pt2C {100} plate precipitates. Excess (quenched-in) vacancies play a critical role in the process by accommodating the volume and structural changes that accompany the transformation. This alloy system exhibits other interesting properties. Due to a large vacancy/carbon atom binding energy, Pt can absorb excess carbon at high temperatures in a carburizing atmosphere. In regions rich in carbon and vacancies, another carbide phase, Pt7C which undergoes an order-disorder reaction was formed. The present study of Pt carburized at 1160°C and aged at 515°C shows that other carbides in the PtxC series can be produced.

AbstractGrain boundaries in thin films of high Tc YBa2Cu3O7-x superconductors have been investigated with high resolution scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) imaging and nanoprobe energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. Atomic resolution images indicate that the grain boundaries are mostly clean, i.e., free of a boundary layer of different phase or of segregation, and are often coherent. EDX microanalysis with a 10 Å spatial resolution also indicates no composition deviation at the grain boundaries.
