description

Titanium and titanium nitride-iron interfaces obtained by PVD coated thin films of Ti and TiN onto argon plasma etched iron substrates at various temperatures and negative bias were studied by use of CEMS. It was found that intermixing to Ti with Fe resulted in the appearance of an amorphous FeTi1−x phase. Furthermore, a comparison of CEM spectra of samples before and after heating in UHV has shown rather strong influence of thermal treatments on Fe/Ti as well as Fe/TiN interfaces.
