Abstract:A gradual variation in chemical composition at an atomic level in a metal/ceramic interface would result in a gradual variation in structural features that can give rise to unusual properties of the heterostructure. One of the ways such atomic-level chemical gradation can be achieved is by diffusion of anions from ceramic to metal. This process is perceived to be unfavorable because it requires the creation of anion vacancies in ceramic and anion interstitials in metal. We use the sum of C, N, or O vacancy for… Show more
