Jh. Du et al., MICROSTRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION OF AS-DEPOSITED NANO-GRANULAR CO-AG FILMS BY HIGH-RESOLUTION ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY, Physica status solidi. a, Applied research, 151(2), 1995, pp. 313-317
The microstructure of as-deposited granular Co-Ag thin films is invest
igated by high resolution electron microscopy. Our results suggest tha
t the thin films consist of two separate phases. The crystallized Co p
articles, with nonuniform size and preferential lattice orientations [
110], [111], [112], [100] in the direction of the him surface normal,
are directly observed. There is a tendency that two connecting grains
have two groups of parallel lattice planes.
