Chemical vapor deposition of metal borides: 6. The formation of neodymium boride thin film materials from polyhedral boron clusters and metal halides by chemical vapor deposition

The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of crystalline thin films of neodymium hexaboride (NdB₆) was achieved using either nido ‐pentaborane(9) or nido ‐decaborane(14) with neodymium(III) chloride on different substrates. The highly crystalline NdB₆ films were formed at relatively moderate temperatures (835 °C, ca. 1 µm/h) and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray emission spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction and glow discharge mass spectrometry. The NdB₆ polycrystalline films were found to be pure and uniform in composition in the bulk material. Depositions using CoCl₂, NdCl₃ and B₅H₉ as the CVD precursors resulted in the formation of a mixture of NdB₆ and CoB phases, rather than the ternary phase.

Determination of niobium and tantalum in some ores and special alloys by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

A fast analytical method for the determination of niobium and tantalum in ores and special alloys by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry has been developed. Optimum conditions for the determination of both metals in the plasma were worked out and possible interferences were studied before attempting the determination in the real samples. Ores are dissolved in a mixture of HCl, HF and H₃PO₄ acids while for the special alloy a HCl+H₂O₂ mixture is used. The resulting solutions are diluted to the mark with tartaric acid before their final direct nebulization into the plasma. Other elements present did not interfere in the determination of Nb or Ta at concentration levels similar to those found in the analyzed samples. The results obtained determining niobium and tantalum in pyrochlore and special alloys by the proposed procedure are in good agreement with the certified values.     

Determination of boron in boron-alloyed steels by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry

An inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) procedure has been developed and examined for the determination of boron content (0.01 up to about 2% B) in boron-alloyed steels such as POLDI ATA BOR (65% Fe, 19%Cr, 12% Ni, 1.5% Mn, 1% B), POLDI ATA BOR EXTRA (62% Fe, 18% Cr, 13% Ni, 2.5% Mo, 1.5% Mn, 1% B) and POLDI ATA BOR-R (75% Fe, 18% Cr, 3.5% Ti, 1.8% B). The steel sample is dissolved with a mixture of hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids in a quartz vessel. Borides of alloyed metals, especially of iron and chromium, are quantitatively decomposed. The presence of phosphoric acid in a sample solution reduces the volatility of boric acid with water vapour.Presented in part at the 1989 European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Reutte, Austria     

Penetration of plasma surface modification. II. CF4 and C2F4 low-temperature cascade arc torch

The depth of surface modification by low-temperature cascade arc torch is investigated. A stack of 10 sheets of nonwoven fabrics of polyester fibers is exposed to a low-temperature cascade arc torch containing CF₄ or C₂F₄, and the fluorination effect is examined by ESCA. It is shown that interaction of chemically reactive species, created in a low-temperature cascade arc torch, with the surface is not limited to the surface contacted by the torch (flame). The results indicate that the fluorination effect is observed on surfaces which are shadowed from the torch by overlying fibers. The highest degree of fluorination is found on the second layer, rather than on the first layer which the torch contacts directly. No significant differences in the trends of penetration of CF₄ and C₂F₄ treatment through porous samples are observed. However, ESCA data show principal differences in chemical structures of the surfaces treated with CF₄ (nonpolymer-forming gas) and C₂F₄ (polymer-forming gas). These results indicate that chemically reactive species induced by the excited species of argon rather than primary species created by the ionization process seem to play predominant roles in the surface treatment as well as the low-temperature cascade arc torch polymerization of perfluorinated compounds. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of Mg2B24C, a new boron-rich boride related to “tetragonal boron I”

Single crystals of Mg₂B₂₄C, a new boron-rich boridecarbide of magnesium, were synthesized as black needles and columns by reaction of the elements in Ta ampoules and BN crucibles at 1300 °C. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction (P-4n2, a=8.9391(13)Å, c=5.0745(10)Å, Z=2, 713 reflections, 64 variables, R₁(F)=0.0235, wR₂(I)=0.0591). It is closely related to “tetragonal boron I” and can be described as a tetragonal rod packing of corner-linked B₁₂ icosahedra with C and Mg atoms in the voids. Each B₁₂ icosahedron has 2 B-C bonds and 10 exohedral bonds to other icosahedra, 2 within the rod and 4×2 to neighbouring rods. The isolated C atoms are 4-fold coordinated forming distorted tetrahedra. Mg is placed on two crystallographically independent positions within the three-dimensional B₁₂C network. Mg₂B₂₄C is the first example for a compound related to “tetragonal boron I” with a stoichiometric composition.     

Nickel boride mediated chemoselective deprotection of 1,1-diacetates to aldehydes and deprotection with concomitant reduction to alcohols at ambient temperature

A variety of 1,1-diacetates have been chemoselectively and efficiently deprotected to the corresponding aldehydes as well as deprotected and concomitantly reduced to the corresponding alcohols in high yields at ambient temperature with nickel boride generated in situ using different molar ratios of sodium borohydride and nickel (II) chloride in methanol at room temperature. Deprotection and reduction of a variety of aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic acylals have been achieved efficiently. Mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, high yields and chemoselectivity demonstrate the efficiency of this new method.

Pore formation during the pyrolysis of C-Nb2O5 and C-Ta2O5 xerogels

Binary organic-inorganic gels have been prepared by mixing a carbonaceous hydrosol and a Nb₂O₅ or Ta₂O₅ sol derived by hydrolysis of the alkoxides. The gels are pyrolyzed under an inert atmosphere into precursors in which carbon and the metal oxides are mixed very intimately. High temperature treatment converts the precursors into the cubic face centered carbides. The precursors as well as the carbides have been shown to be micro- and mesoporous materials. Measurements of nitrogen adsorption reveal a characteristic change of the shapes of the isotherms (Type I Type IV) and of the hysteresis loops (H4H2H1) during the thermal processes. Pore widening has been observed with rising temperature. The phenomena of crystallization, carbothermal reduction and sintering were found to control the pore shape and size. The results of the adsorption measurement correlate well with those of the thermoanalytical and X-ray diffraction studies.Dedicated to Professor Dr. rer.nat. Dr. h.c.

Optical emission diagnostics in cascade arc plasma polymerization and surface modification processes

Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) was used to identify reactive species and their excitation states in low-temperature cascade arc plasmas of N₂, CF₄, C₂F₄, CH₄, and CH₃OH. In a cascade arc plasma, the plasma gas (argon or helium) was excited in the cascade arc generator and injected into a reactor in vacuum. A reactive gas was injected into the cascade arc torch (CAT) that was expanding in the reactor. What kind of species of a reactive gas, for example, nitrogen, are created in the reactor is dependent on the electronic energy levels of the plasma gas in the cascade arc plasma jet. OES revealed that no ion of nitrogen was found when argon was used as the plasma gas of which metastable species had energy less than the ionization energy of nitrogen. When helium was used, ions of nitrogen were found. While OES is a powerful tool to identify the products of the cascade arc generation (activation process), it is less useful to identify the reactive species that are responsible for surface modification of polymers and also for plasma polymerization. The plasma surface modification and plasma polymerization are deactivation processes that cannot be identified by photoemission, which is also a deactivation process. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Penetration of plasma surface modification into porous media. III. Multiple samples exposed to CF4 and C2F4 low temperature cascade arc torch

The depth and possible mechanisms of the penetration of surface modification into porous media by a low temperature cascade are torch are investigated. Two different modes of such penetration (“flow controlled” and “diffusion controlled”) are evaluated. Three porous samples [stacks of 10 sheets of nonwoven fabrics of poly(ethylene terephthalate)each], placed at an axial distance of 24, 28, and 32 cm from the cascade are anode, are exposed to a low temperature cascade arc torch containing argon and CF₄ or C₂F₄, and surface properties of each of the sheets within treated porous samples are examined by ESCA. It is shown that interaction of chemically reactive species, created in the low temperature cascade arc torch, with the surface is not limited to the surface directly contacted by the torch. The flow controlled penetration is more pronounced for the outer layers, while diffusion controlled penetration is within the inner layers of the porous structure. Substantial differences in the fluorination effect of CF₄ (nonpolymer forming gas) and C₂F₄ (polymer forming gas) discharges for the second and third stacks are observed, that can be explained by the fact that the major effect of the CF₄ cascade arc torch treatment is based on the reaction of reactive species with the surface polymer molecules. The effect of C₂F₄ cascade arc torch treatment is based on the reactions of reactive species with polymers as well as reactions of reactive species themselves at the surface (plasma polymerization). Reactivity of the species created in C₂F₄ discharge is much higher compared to that created in CF₄ discharge, which is one of the major factors influencing penetration trends of low temperature cascade arc treatment into porous media. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An overall mechanism for the deposition of plasma polymers from methane in a low-pressure argon plasma jet

An overall mechanism for plasma polymer deposition from a methane-seeded argon plasma jet was established from experimental measurements and a simplified model of reaction kinetics within the plasma jet. Total mass deposition rates were obtained at various substrate positions and methane flow rates. Methane consumption was estimated from residual gas analysis. The influence of substrate coolant temperature on deposition rate was evaluated. The model was based on particle densities, jet temperature, and jet velocity data published previously, and reaction rate constants from the literature were used. No adjustable parameters were employed in this model. Experimental results for total deposition rate and methane consumption were in good agreement with model predictions. The overall deposition mechanism consists of three steps: Penning ionization of methane by excited argon neutrals, followed by dissociative recombination of CN _x ⁺ to yield CH, followed by incorporation of CH into the growing film upon impact. Contributions of species other than CH to the total deposition rate are minor, and adsorption is not a prerequisite for incorporation into the growing film.     

Microprobe analysis of reaction products of titanium and niobium with tungsten

The investigation of reaction products produced on the tip of tungsten electrodes during the production of titanium- and titaniumalloy-powder by the Rotating-Electrode-Process showed that titanium and titanium alloys can penetrate into cracks of the tungsten electrodes and produce a solid solution between tungsten and titanium. By this reaction a break-away of tungsten particles is avoided. This penetration process was not observed during the production of powder of niobium so that the amount of powder which can be produced by one tungsten electrode doped with thorium oxide from titanium is higher than that which can be produced from niobium.

Nitriding of niobium and tantalum with a plasma jet under reduced pressure

The nitriding of niobium and tantalum with argon-nitrogen and argon-nitrogen-hydrogen plasma jets at pressures of 190 and 240 Torr was studied. The reaction kinetics obeyed a parabolic law. Cubic -NbN and cubic -TaN, which were stable phases at high temperature, were easily obtained at higher nitriding rates than those of thermal nitriding at the same temperature. Results obtained are discussed with plasma diagnostics such as emission spectroscopy and electrical double probe techniques.
