Structural characterization of TiO2 films obtained by high temperature oxidation of TiC single crystals

Auger Electron Spectroscopy Analysis of Cross‐Section Surface of Oxidized Titanium Carbide Single Crystal

“…Except for the presence of the C peak, the zone a can be identified as TiO 2 . 15 It agrees with previous results 9 showing the formation of rutile phase by oxidation of the TiC samples at high temperatures and low oxygen partial pressure. The chemical composition of the outer layer and substrate was determined by EPMA analysis to be respectively equal to TiO 2 and TiC 0.93 .…”

“…The reactivity trend suggests that the oxidation product layer grown on the sample surface plays a role in the reaction mechanism. Based on the Wagner theory for high-temperature oxidation of metals, as already discussed elsewhere, 9,10 we expect linear behavior of the square of the oxide thickness versus time. In Fig.…”

Influence of the O/C ratio in the behaviour of TiCxOy thin films

“…Thus, O as an impurity may substitute C to form binary solid solutions over a wide range of homogeneity [22]. Due to the very high chemical affinity of Ti to O, this element may be incorporated into the TiC films during growth [23][24][25].…”

Oxidation of titanium carbide–graphite hetero-modulus ceramics with low carbon content

“…Interaction between carbide phase and oxygen only seems to be simple at a glance. Though the first oxidation kinetics studies of carbides, including titanium carbide, date back to the 1950-1970s, 12-17 even the prolific production of recent publications, mostly due to the works by Shimada et al [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]30 and Gozzi et al, [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] has not completely clarified some features of the oxidation kinetics for these compounds, as the data available in literature are not only differed, but sometimes, it is in contradiction with each other. Various models (linear, parabolic, logarithmic, etc.)…”
