“…Intermetallic thin films have superior magnetic, 13−15 mechanical, 16 and catalytic properties, 17−20 show superconductive behavior, 15,21 and are able to store hydrogen. 22,23 These properties ensure a wide range of application possibilities for the films, for example, as protective and refractory coatings, 24,25 thermoelectric 26 and battery materials, 27,28 and even in different biomedical applications. 29,30 Intermetallic Co−Sn and Ni−Sn powders and nanostructures with a variety of stoichiometries have been studied for anode materials in Li + -ion batteries, 31−43 interconnect metallurgies, 44,45 catalysis, 46−50 and for a possible use in magnetic devices.…”

In this work, a growth mechanism of an intermetallic Co3Sn2 thin film is studied in situ with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS). The film is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) from CoCl2(TMEDA) and Bu3SnH precursors (TMEDA = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine). Balanced reaction equations are resolved by fitting the QMS and QCM data, and a step-by-step growth mechanism is determined for the process. During the CoCl2(TMEDA) pulse, only 1-chlorobutane is formed as a byproduct. However, during the Bu3SnH pulse, two byproducts, BuCl and Bu3SnCl, were clearly detected, indicating that two competing reaction pathways exist during that pulse. Preliminary studies on another intermetallic ALD process, Ni3Sn2, revealed that the reactions occur similarly as in the Co3Sn2 process.

Cu-Al-N thin films were deposited by means of the unbalanced magnetron cosputtering technique, varying the pulsed DC source power that is associated with the aluminum target. The structural characterization, done through x ray difraction (XRD) and transmition electronic microscopy (TEM), showed that the films were nanocrystalline, with a crystallite size of an order of magnitude of 10 nm. According to the chemical composition results, they consisted of a Cu-Al phase, copper nitride and aluminum nitride, that depended on the deposition power. The electrochemical characterization was performed by means of Tafel extrapolation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Tafel results showed a decrease in the corrosion current with an increase in the power, and the electrochemical impedance results showed an inductive behavior at low frequencies.
