“…8b depicts the N1s spectrum. The N1s peak can be deconvoluted in two peaks at 396.4 eV and 397.2 eV characteristic for Cr-N and Cr 2 -N, respectively (Del Re et al, 2003;Nishimura et al, 1989). Fig.…”

“…According to the XPS literature around Cr-Al-N materials (Barshilia et al, 2007;Del Re et al, 2003;Sanjinés et al, 2002), when the peaks are fitted from experimental results, it is necessary to adjust first the N energy band because it is the element that provides greater reliability for XPS, then, take this first adjust as base, the other peaks related to the remaining elements are adjusted. The latter is indispensable due to the characteristic that is present in this kind of insulating materials (films) with respect to the incident signal, avoiding in this way the uncertainties caused for charging and shifts of the Fermi energy.…”

“…After the corrosion experiments, the composition of the passive layer formed on the Zr-Cu metallic glass coatings was investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (ESCALAB 250 photoelectron spectrometer-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with Al-kα radiation (hν = 1486.6 eV). The XPS results were deconvoluted using the XPSPEAK software (V41) with Newton's iteration method and quantitative results were extracted from the survey spectra with respect to standard Scofield sensitivity factors [22].…”

Abstract:The effect of copper addition on the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of binary Zr 100-x Cu x (x = 30, 50, 80, 90 at.%) glassy coatings was investigated by means of electrochemical measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nano-indentation techniques. The corrosion resistance in 0.01 M deaerated H 2 SO 4 solution and the mechanical properties of the Zr-Cu glassy coatings depend considerably upon the copper content in the glassy matrix. The top surfaces of the Zr-Cu coatings with lower Cu content were covered by a compact protective ZrO 2 passive film. The competition between the oxidation of Zr atoms (ZrO 2 film formation) and the oxidation-dissolution of Cu atoms assumed the most important role in the electrochemical behavior of the Zr-Cu glassy coatings. The generation of ZrO 2 on the surface benefited the formation of passive film; and the corrosion resistance of the metallic glass coatings depended on the coverage degree of ZrO 2 passive film. The evolution of free volume affected both the mechanical and corrosion behaviors of the Zr-Cu glassy coatings.

“…Zirconium nitride, ZrN, possesses both ceramic and metallic characteristics: very high melting point [1], high hardness (30-35 GPa) [2,3], good wear resistance [4], high thermochemical stability [5], low electrical resistivity [6], and good biocompatibility [7]. In addition, because of its low cross section capture for neutrons it could be used as a protective coating for nuclear application.…”
