The artificial layering of metals can change both physical and structural characteristics from the bulk. The stabilization of polymorphic metallic phases can occur on a dimensional scale that ranges from single overgrowth layers to repetitive layering at the nanoscale. The sputter deposition of crystalline titanium on nickel, as both a single layer and in multilayer form, has produced a face-centered cubic phase of titanium. The atomic structure of the face-centered cubic titanium phase is examined using high resolution electron microscopy in combination with electron and x-ray diffraction.

Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

Highly ordered Cu, Ag and Au nanowire arrays with high aspect ratio and highly dense self-supporting nanowire patterns of copper group were successfully prepared using cyclic voltammetry with the assistance of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the metal nanowries were indexed to the face-centered cubic structure. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) results demonstrated that the length of nanowire could be controlled by changing the electrodepositon conditions. The aspect ratio of nanowire arrays can be tuned.

ABSTRACTThin Co and Co based alloy films with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure have been epitaxially grown on single crystal Si wafers by sputter deposition. Epitaxial orientation relationships have been determined by x-ray diffraction, x-ray pole figure scans and TEM. Magnetic properties have been characterized using vibrating sampling magnetometer (VSM), torque magnetometer and BH loop tracer. Soft magnetic properties have been observed for the pure Co films.

Abstract The T phase in the Mn–Ni–Zn system was obtained as a product of high-temperature solid-state syntheses from the loaded composition of MnxNi2−xZn11 (x = 0.2–1.5)/MnxNi15.38−xZn84.62 (x = 1.54–11.54). The crystal structure of the T phase has been explored by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The structures were solved in the face-centered cubic space group F 4 ‾ 3 m $F‾{4}3m$ (216) and contain 409–410 atoms/unit cell. The lattice constants were found to be a = 18.1727(2) and 18.1954(1) Å for crystals C1 and C2, respectively. The crystal structure denoted the T phase is a (2aγ)3-superstructure of the ordinary cubic γ-brass-type phase. The phase is isostructural to (Fe, Ni)Zn6.5. A “cluster” description has been used to visualize the crystal structure of the title phase. The structures have been constructed by the five distinct clusters and they are situated about the high symmetry sites of the face-centered cubic lattice. The T phase is stabilized at a valance electron concentration of 1.78, which is slightly higher than those expected for typical γ-brass Hume‐Rothery compounds.

Superhydrophobic film materials have recieved intensive attention owing to their wide applications in different areas. In the present study, nanostructured Ni film has been successfully fabricated with the assistance of an external magnetic field. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the as-prepared Ni film is presented in face-centered cubic phase and elmentary analysis indicates the as-prepared Ni film is pure Ni. It is found that ethanol in the reaction solution plays a key role in determing the morpholgy of the final products and ethanol is unfavourable for the formation of Ni film. The static contact angles of water on the as-prepared Ni film can reach ca. 146 o, implying that the film exhibits superhydrophobic property.

ABSTRACTThe conducting oxysalt Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 has been electrodeposited onto highly oriented conducting oxides of Tl2 03 and Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9. T12O3 was grown in a [100] texture while the Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 was grown with two different thickness-dependent textures of [110] and [210]. The orientation of the Ag(Ag3O4)2NO3 crystals with respect to the substrate surface was determined by x-ray diffraction. The face-centered-cubic Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 crystals deposited on body-centered-cubic T12 03 and face-centered-cubic Pb0.8Tl0.2O1.9 followed the orientation of these prelayers. However, Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 which was electrodeposited onto polycrystalline 430 stainless steel had a nearly random orientation. The lattice mismatch is 6.6% between T12 03 and Ag(Ag3O4)2N03, and it is 7.8% between Ag(Ag3O4)2N03 and the doubled unit cell of Pb0.8Tl0.2Ol.9.

AbstractEpitaxial Co/Mn superlattices (0.6 to 4.8 nm thick Co) have been grown on (0002) hcp Ru buffer layer on mica substrates. The face centered cubic (fcc) phase of cobalt is stabilized by the very thin manganese layer. The structural properties of these layers have been studied through x ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance.

A titanium thin film was deposited on the flat (0001) face of a 6H–SiC by electron beam evaporation at room temperature in a vacuum of 5.1 × 10−8 Pa. The Ti film was epitaxially grown on the surface, and the interface between Ti and SiC was characterized by high-resolution electron microscopy. It was found that the structure of the deposited titanium is face-centered cubic (fcc), although bulk titanium metal usually has a hexagonal close-packed or body-centered cubic crystal structure. We believe that the unusual fcc structure of Ti thin film is due to the high adhesion of the film to the substrate and the high degree of coherency between them. The orientation relationship of the fcc-Ti/6H–SiC interface was (111)fcc-Ti//(0001)6H–SiC and [110]fcc-Ti//[1120]6H−SiC. Preliminary calculations indicate that this orientation relationship maximizes the lattice coherency across the interface.

Cr–Al–N coatings with a lateral composition gradient were deposited from two segmented Cr/Al targets with different segment size, thus covering the Al content range 0.22 ≲ c ≲ 0.87 and a thickness range from several hundred nanometres to several micrometres. The two-dimensional thickness and composition profiles were determined nondestructively from X-ray fluorescence maps. The results were reproduced by simulations of the flux distribution on the sample surface, combiningTRIDYNsimulations of the reactive sputter process at the target surface andSIMTRAsimulations of the subsequent transport through the gas phase. The phase formation was studied by spatially resolved X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Cr Kedge. Forc ≲ 0.69, a single-phase solid solution face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) (Cr,Al)N phase was found, and for 0.69 ≲ c ≲ 0.87 coexisting f.c.c. (Cr,Al)N and hexagonal close packed (h.c.p.) (Cr,Al)N phases were observed. The biaxial texture formation in nearly the entire composition range indicates a zone T growth. Four, mainly composition-dependent, texture regions were identified. All observed textures are closely related to textures reported for the h.c.p. AlN and f.c.c. CrN parent phases. Forc ≳ 0.69, a strong thickness dependence of the textures was observed. The measurements reveal an orientation relation between different f.c.c. and h.c.p. textures, indicating that local epitaxy might play a role in the structure formation.

AbstractThermal stability and failure mechanisms of Au/TiW(N)/Si and Au/TiW(N)/SiO2/Si systems have been studied by both conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X- ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. For films deposited in Ar gas containing 20% N2, a single face-centered-cubic phase was the only crystalline phase detected to form. The samples were found to remain stable after annealing at 700 °C for 30 min. The stability temperature for Au/TiW(N)(Ar:N2=80:20)/SiO2/Si samples was found to be higher than those of Au/TiW(N) (Ar:N2=90:10)/SiO2/Si and Au/TiW/SiO2/Si samples.
