摘要
Sequential stages of Ta carbonisation from the initial atomic adsorption to bulk carbide (BC) production throughout the sample have been studied by high temperature high resolution Auger spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum. Two compounds - surface carbide (SC) Ta5C2 and BC TaC - were found. The energy barrier heights for atomic carbon transport from the surface to the bulk were estimated to be E-st = 2.1-2.3 eV and back E-ls = E-sl - DeltaE approximate to (1.2-1.6) eV and the activation energy of carbon bulk diffusion in Ta E-dif similar to 1.3 eV was refound. It is shown that SC can be treated as a thermodynamically 'legal' phase and should find its place in the equilibrium phase diagram. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
