Trends in atomic adsorption on titanium carbide and nitride

A Review on Titanium Nitride and Titanium Carbide Single and Multilayer Coatings Deposited by Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition

In this paper, we reviewed researches about the titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium carbide (TiC) single and multilayer coatings. These coatings were deposited by the plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) technique. Plasma-based technologies are used for the processing of thin films and coatings for different applications such as automobile and aerospace parts, computer disc drives,...

Passivation of GaAs surface by atomic-layer-deposited titanium nitride

The suitability of titaniumnitride (TiN) for GaAs surface passivation and protection is investigated. A 2–6nm thick TiN passivation layer is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at 275 C on top of InGaAs/ GaAs near surface quantum well (NSQW) structures to study the surface passivation. X-ray reflectivity measurements are used to determine the physical properties of the passivation layer....

Silicon Nitride and Silicon Carbide

Interface Investigations on Titanium Nitride Bilayer Systems

Nanocomposite coatings composed of two phases with atomically sharp phase boundaries, show interesting mechanical properties. These properties are often originating from their high interface to volume ratio. Composites of nanocrystalline titanium nitride (TiN) grains surrounded by a one to two monolayer thick interlayer of silicon nitride (Si3N4) show an enhanced nanohardness. The central theme...

Combustion Synthesis of Titanium-Tungsten Carbide Composites in Iron Matrix

Combustion synthesis has been used to produce Fe-(Ti,W)C composites. A simple reactor was designed which made it possible to ignite the samples under controlled atmosphere. Samples with different W/Ti ratio were ingnited under argon atmosphere by an electric arc and a self-propagating reaction was initiated in each sample. Different composites such as WC in Fe-Ti matrix, WC+(Ti,W)C in Fe matrix...
