Laser physical vapor deposition (LPVD) has been used to grow titanium nitride films on hydrogen-terminated silicon(100) substrates at deposition temperatures ranging from room temperature to 600 °C. A pulsed KrF excimer laser (λ = 248 nm, τ = 25 ns) was used with the deposition chamber maintained at a base pressure of 10−7 Torr prior to deposition. Different properties of the films were investigated by x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, optical, scanning, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and measurement of electrical resistivity. When the substrate temperature was low (at and below 500 °C), oxygen atoms from the residual gases were incorporated in the films. The microstructures and resistivities of TiN films were found to be strongly dependent on the temperature of the silicon substrates. The TiN films deposited at 600 °C were oxygen-free, as observed from Auger analysis, and the room temperature resistivity was found to be 14–15 μΩ-cm. Raman spectroscopy of the films showed that the nitrogen-related optical phonon peak increased with deposition temperature in comparison with the titanium-related acoustic peak. Transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction analyses showed that the films were polycrystalline at low temperature with grain size ranging from 300–600 Å, depending on the temperature of the substrate. At 600 °C, the films were found to be single crystals with occasional presence of dislocation loops. The spacing of Moiré fringes in TiN/Si samples deposited at 600 °C established the nearly periodic elastic strain field extending into the TiN and Si at the interface. Although there exists a large misfit between TiN and Si (24.6%), the epitaxial growth of TiN films on Si(100) substrates was explained by means of domain-matched epitaxy with a 4-to-3 match in unit cells for TiN/Si structure, giving rise to a residual lattice misfit of only 4%.

Nanocrystalline And Amorphous

ABSTRACTNanocrystalline and amorphous Fe-Ti at or close to the equiatomic composition have been prepared by ball milling, starting either from the elemental components or from the pre-melted intermetallic. The final structure, whose evolution has been monitored by Xray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, is found to be critically dependent on milling conditions and contamination level.Hydrogen absorption properties of both the amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys have been investigated. These properties are substantially modified by the reduction in grain size. We will also discuss the influence of the activation process and repeated hydrogen charging on substitutional disorder and grain size.

We report successful synthesis of baddeleyite type monoclinic zirconium oxide nanocrystals formation. The product mixture of zirconium incubated at room temperature for 7 days were thoroughly investigated employing X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy studies. XRD and Raman studies revealed the formation of baddeleyite type monoclinic zirconium oxide nanocrystals. TEM studies revealed the nanocrystal formation with size ranging from 100 nm to 200 nm.

The size, shape and surface morphology of human erythrocytes (RBC) were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), of the fixed material directly and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of surface replicas to compare the relative merits of these two observational procedures for this type specimen.A sample of human blood was fixed in glutaraldehyde and washed in distilled water by centrifugation. The washed RBC's were spread on freshly cleaved mica and on aluminum coated microscope slides and then air dried at room temperature. The SEM specimens were rotary coated with 150Å of 60:40- gold:palladium alloy in a vacuum evaporator using a new combination spinning and tilting device. The TEM specimens were preshadowed with platinum and then rotary coated with carbon in the same device. After stripping the RBC-Pt-C composite film, the RBC's were dissolved in 2.5N HNO3 followed by 0.2N NaOH leaving the preshadowed surface replicas showing positive topography.

Polycrystalline Molybdenum

The evolution of dislocation channels in irradiated metals during deformation can be envisaged to occur in three stages: (i) formation of embryonic cluster free regions, (ii) growth of these regions into microscopically observable channels and (iii) termination of their growth due to the accumulation of dislocation damage. The first two stages are particularly intriguing, and we have attempted to follow the early stages of channel formation in polycrystalline molybdenum, irradiated to 5×1019 n. cm−2 (E > 1 Mev) at the reactor ambient temperature (∼ 60°C), using transmission electron microscopy. The irradiated samples were strained, at room temperature, up to the macroscopic yield point.Figure 1 illustrates the early stages of channel formation. The observations suggest that the cluster free regions, such as A, B and C, form in isolated packets, which could subsequently link-up to evolve a channel.

Theoretical Predictions

When CoSi2 is grown onto a Si(111) surface it can form in two distinct orientations. A-type CoSi2 has the same orientation as the Si substrate and B-type is rotated by 180° degrees about the [111] surface normal.One method of producing epitaxial CoSi2 is to deposit Co at room temperature and anneal to 650°C.If greater than 10Å of Co is deposited then both A and B-type CoSi2 form via a number of intermediate silicides .The literature suggests that the co-existence of A and B-type CoSi2 is in some way linked to these intermediate silicides analogous to the NiSi2/Si(111) system. The phase which forms prior to complete CoSi2 formation is CoSi. This paper is a crystallographic analysis of the CoSi2/Si(l11) bicrystal using a theoretical method developed by Pond. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to verify the theoretical predictions and to characterise the defect structure at the interface.

AbstractTernary Ag–In–(Eu, Ce) 1/1 approximants are synthesized and their structures are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For both the approximants, superlattice spots are clearly observed at room temperature, and the superstructures of the Ag–In–(Eu, Ce) approximants are found to be similar to those of Cd
