AbstractChromium containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon films (a-C:H/Cr) were prepared in a process that combines rf plasma activated chemical vapor deposition of methane and magnetron sputtering of a chromium target. During the deposition the silicon substrates were kept at 200°C and dc biased at -200 V in order to obtain films with high chemical stability which is required for the application as solar selective surfaces. the films with different Cr concentrations (5 to 49 at.%) were characterized by in situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Up to 40 at.%, chromium proves to be built into the cermet-like films in the form of chromium carbide clusters. above 40 at.%, chromium is partly metallic. a modification of the a-C:H matrix in the vicinity of the chromium carbide clusters has been observed.

The paper is an account of TEM based automatic orientation mapping summarizing more than two years of using the system. Following a brief introduction of the system elements, some representative applications are described. We focus on the characterization of fine-grain materials, mapping of low symmetry materials (metastable chromium carbide) and semi-automatic analysis of misorientations in a fully lamellar polycrystalline (g+a2) TiAl alloy. Moreover, the current state of the TEM based system is discussed and compared to EBSD systems. In particular, the issues of spatial resolution, accuracy, map acquisition time, reliability are considered.
