“…In nuclear science, zirconium metal alloys and compounds are used in a wide array of applications due to the very low thermal neutron capture cross-section of zirconium [2]. Zirconium and zirconium alloys have been used in fuel and fuel cladding [3][4][5][6][7], as well as for structural applications [2], ZrH 2 in hydride fuels and as a neutron reflector [8][9][10][11], ZrC as cladding for TRISO fuel particles [12,13], ZrN as the matrix in nitride fuels [14,15], zirconium silicides as neutron reflectors and cladding [16][17][18], and ZrO 2 in matrix material in fast reactors and as fuel cladding [11,[19][20][21]. Zirconium compounds have also been used outside of nuclear science.…”

Coatings of zirconium compounds are used in a wide variety of fields, yet an understanding and descriptions of deposition mechanisms are scant in the public literature. The mechanisms of deposition for metallic zirconium, ZrC, ZrN, ZrO2, ZrB2, and zirconium silicides are discussed based on the direct vapor deposition research of those compounds where possible or compared to complementary titanium systems when direct research is lacking. Both inorganic and organometallic deposition systems are discussed. As a class of compounds, an understanding of the vapor deposition mechanisms can be significantly improved by investigations on metallic zirconium deposition by zirconium halides and hydrogen and by in situ analysis techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy or x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
