AbstractAbstract
[en] Ti3SiC2 thin films were synthesized by magnetron sputtering from Ti3SiC2 and Ti targets. Sputtering from a Ti3SiC2 target alone resulted in films with a C content of ∼50 at. % or more, due to gas-phase scattering processes and differences in angular and energy distributions between species ejected from the target. Addition of Ti to the deposition flux from a Ti3SiC2 target is shown to bind the excess C in TiCx intergrown with Ti3SiC2 and Ti4SiC3. Additionally, a substoichiometric TiCx buffer layer is shown to serve as a C sink and enable the growth of Ti3SiC2

AbstractAbstract
[en] Photoemission studies using synchrotron radiation have been performed on epitaxial Ti3SiC2(0001) and compound nanocrystalline (nc-)TiC/amorphous (a-)SiC thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering. As-introduced samples were found to be covered by surface oxides, SiOx and TiOx. These oxides could be removed by in-situ annealing to ∼1000 deg. C. For as-annealed Ti3SiC2(0001), surface Si was observed and interpreted as originating from decomposition of Ti3SiC2 through Si out-diffusion. For nc-TiC/a-SiC annealed in situ to ∼1000 deg. C, the surface instead exhibited a dominant contribution from graphitic carbon, also with the presence of Si, due to C and Si out-diffusion from the a-SiC compound or from grain boundaries

AbstractAbstract
[en] V2GeC MAX-phase thin films were deposited by DC magnetron sputter epitaxy in the temperature range 450-850 deg. C. The MAX-phase nucleates directly on (0 0 0 l)-oriented sapphire-wafer substrates without the need for a seed layer. The films contain, however, a small fraction of binary vanadium carbide (VCx) inclusions. X-ray diffraction analysis furthermore shows that these inclusions partly consist of the ordered superstructure V8C7. The amount of Ge in the films decreases at higher temperatures, which can be attributed to Ge evaporation. At temperatures below 450 deg. C the films consist of polycrystalline Ge and an X-ray amorphous carbide phase attributed to VCx or V2C. No MAX-phase was observed in this temperature region. The electrical and mechanical properties of the films were characterized

AbstractAbstract
[en] Crystalline alumina-zirconia nanocomposites have been synthesized at 450 deg. C and 750 deg. C with reactive magnetron sputtering using radio-frequency power supplies. The composition of the films ranged from pure alumina to pure zirconia as measured by ion beam techniques. Microstructural characterization showed the presence of monoclinic zirconia in the pure zirconia films and γ-alumina in the pure alumina films while the nanocomposites contained either an amorphous compound, γ-alumina, cubic zirconia or a mixture of these. The grain size was ∼ 5 nm for the nanocomposite compared to larger grains in the pure oxide films. Electron energy loss spectroscopy showed a clear progression from the pure alumina to the pure zirconia

AbstractAbstract
[en] Thin films of Mn+1AXn layered compounds in the Ti-Si-C system were deposited on MgO(111) and Al2O3(0001) substrates held at 900 deg. C using dc magnetron sputtering from elemental targets of Ti, Si, and C. We report on single-crystal and epitaxial deposition of Ti3SiC2 (the previously reported MAX phase in the Ti-Si-C system), a previously unknown MAX phase Ti4SiC3 and another type of structure having the stoichiometry of Ti5Si2C3 and Ti7Si2C5. The latter two structures can be viewed as an intergrowth of 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 M layers between each A layer. In addition, epitaxial films of Ti5Si3Cx were deposited and Ti5Si4 is also observed. First-principles calculations, based on density functional theory (DFT) of Tin+1SiCn for n=1,2,3,4 and the observed intergrown Ti5Si2C3 and Ti7Si2C5 structures show that the calculated difference in cohesive energy between the MAX phases reported here and competing phases (TiC, Ti3SiC2, TiSi2, and Ti5Si3) are very small. This suggests that the observed Ti5Si2C3 and Ti7Si2C5 structures at least should be considered as metastable phases. The calculations show that the energy required for insertion of a Si layer in the TiC matrix is independent of how close the Si layers are stacked. Hardness and electrical properties can be related to the number of Si layers per Ti layer. This opens up for designed thin film structures the possibility to tune properties

AbstractAbstract
[en] Reactive sputtering from two elemental targets, aluminum and zirconium, with the addition of two reactive gases, oxygen and nitrogen, is studied experimentally as well as theoretically. The complex behavior of this process is observed and explained. It is shown that the addition of oxygen to a constant supply of nitrogen significantly changes the relative content of aluminum with respect to zirconium in the film. Moreover, it is concluded that there is substantially more oxygen than nitrogen in the films even when the oxygen supply is significantly lower than the nitrogen supply. It is further shown that the addition of a certain minimum constant flow of nitrogen reduces, and eventually eliminates, the hysteresis with respect to the oxygen supply. It is concluded that the presented theoretical model for the involved reactions and mass balance during reactive sputtering of two targets in two reactive gases is in qualitative agreement with the experimental results and can be used to find optimum processing conditions for deposition of films of a desired composition

AbstractAbstract
[en] Inherently nanostructured CP x compounds were studied by first-principles calculations. Geometry optimizations and cohesive energy comparisons show stability for C3P, C2P, C3P2, CP, and P4 (P2) species in isolated form as well as incorporated in graphene layers. The energy cost for structural defects, arising from the substitution of C for P and intercalation of P atoms in graphene, was also evaluated. We find a larger curvature of the graphene sheets and a higher density of cross-linkage sites in comparison to fullerene-like (FL) CN x, which is explained by differences in the bonding between P and N. Thus, the computational results extend the scope of fullerene-like thin film materials with FL-CP x and provide insights for its structural properties

AbstractAbstract
[en] Radio frequency magnetron sputtering from oxide targets has been used to synthesize crystalline alumina-zirconia nanocomposites at a relatively low temperature of 450 deg.C. Films of different compositions have been deposited ranging from pure zirconia to pure alumina, the compositions being measured with Rutherford backscattering and elastic recoil detection analysis. X-ray diffraction studies show the presence of the monoclinic zirconia phase in pure zirconia films. Addition of alumina into the film results in the growth of the cubic zirconia phase and amorphous alumina. No crystalline alumina was detected in either the composite or the pure alumina film. The microstructure of the films as studied by high resolution electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy shows a columnar growth mode in both the pure zirconia and nanocomposite films, but reveals differences in the intracolumnar structure. For the nanocomposite small equiaxed grains, ∼5 nm in size, are found at the base of the columns at the interface with the substrate. An amorphous tissue of alumina was present between the small crystallites in the case of the nanocomposite

AbstractAbstract
[en] Mixed aluminium oxide-zirconium oxide thin solid films have been synthesized at ∼ 300 deg. C by reactive direct current magnetron sputtering from two targets. Partial pressure control of the oxygen gas ensured stoichiometric films without compromising the deposition rate. The composition of the films ranged from pure alumina to pure zirconia as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Microstructural characterisation showed that the pure zirconium oxide films nucleated initially as the tetragonal zirconia phase, while the 100/010/001 textured monoclinic zirconia phase grew under steady-state conditions with a columnar structure. Addition of aluminium to ∼ 3 at.% caused the formation of tetragonal zirconia in the films, while further additions led to an amorphous structure as governed by the alumina under the present kinetic limitations

AbstractAbstract
[en] Nanocomposite coatings consisting of Ag and TiCx (x < 1) crystallites in a matrix of amorphous SiC were deposited by high-rate magnetron sputtering from Ti-Si-C-Ag compound targets. Different target compositions were used to achieve coatings with a Si content of ∼13 at.%, while varying the C/Ti ratio and Ag content. Electron microscopy, helium ion microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed to trace Ag segregation during deposition and possible decomposition of amorphous SiC. Eutectic interaction between Ag and Si is observed, and the Ag forms threading grains which coarsen with increased coating thickness. The coatings can be tailored for conductivity horizontally or vertically by controlling the shape and distribution of the Ag precipitates. Coatings were fabricated with hardness in the range 10-18 GPa and resistivity in the range 77-142 μΩ cm.
