Abstract
To determine the density heterogeneity of protective coatings and thin films, a method based on nuclear backscattering spectrometry is proposed, which makes it possible to study materials at all stages of testing and operation. The analysis of porous coatings based on zirconium dioxide obtained by plasma cluster spraying and microarc oxidation is carried out, and the quality of formation of powder samples based on aluminum and its hydride is investigated. The potential of the proposed method for the analysis of coatings subjected to thermal tests are shown.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
