2. 1. Microstructure aspects of transition metal carbide thin films

   Author : Jun Lu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; vapour deposition; transition metal carbide; nanocrystallinity; epitaxy; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Transition metal carbides are important refractory materials used in many thin film applications. In this thesis, several transition metal carbides have been deposited using different chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and evaporation processes. In particular, the phase composition and microstructure of these carbide films have been studied. READ MORE

4. 2. Atomistic simulation and experimental studies of transition metal systems involving carbon and nitrogen

   Author : Jiaying Xie; Seshadri Seetharaman; Oleg Ostrovski; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transition metal carbides; Transition metal nitrides; Transition metal carbo-nitrides; Lattice inversion method; Interatomic potential; Atomistic simulation; Metallurgical process engineering; Metallurgisk processteknik;

   Abstract : The present work was initiated to investigate the stability, structural and thermodynamic properties of transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbo-nitrides by atomistic simulations and experimentations. The interatomic pair potentials of Cr-Cr, Mn-Mn, Fe-Fe, C-C, Cr-C, Mn-C, Fe-C, Cr-Fe, Cr-N and Mn-N were inverted by the lattice inversion method and ab initio cohesive energies, and then employed to investigate the properties of Cr-, Mn- and Fe-carbides by atomistic simulations in this work.

5. 3. Thermodynamic investigations of transition metal systems containing coabon and nitrogen

   Author : Lidong Teng; Seshadri Seetharaman; Tooru Matsumiya; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; thermodynamic activity; galvanic cell technique; transition metal carbides; transition metal nitrides; phase equilibrium; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : In view of the important applications of carbides and carbo-nitrides of transition metals in the heat-resistant and hard materials industries, the thermodynamic activities of Cr and Mn in the Cr-C, Fe-Cr-C, Mn-Ni-C and Mn-Ni-C-N systems have been studied in the present work by the use of the galvanic cell technique. CaF2single crystals were used as the solid electrolyte. READ MORE

6. 4. Interaction of C60 with transition metals for thin film applications

   Author : Lars Norin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; C60; transition metals; fulleride; carbide; epitaxy; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : The fullerene molecule C60 is known to undergo many different chemical reactions, including intercalation of alkali- and alkaline earth metals. Relatively little is still known about the reaction between transition metals and C60, and the objective of this thesis was therefore-to investigate the chemical interaction between C60 and some group IV-VI transition metals.

7. 5. Transition metal carbide nanocomposite and amorphous thin films

   Author : Olof Tengstrand; Lars Hultman; Per Eklund; Axel Flink; Allan Matthews; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis explores thin films of binary and ternary transition metal carbides, in the Nb-C, Ti-Si-C, Nb-Si-C, Zr-Si-C, and Nb-Ge-C systems. The electrical and mechanical properties of these systems are affected by their structure and here both nanocomposite and amorphous thin films are thus investigated. READ MORE
