摘要

HighlightsXPS binding energies (BEs) of group IVb-VIb transition metal carbides (TMCs) are reported.TMCs are grown under the same conditions and analyzed in the same instrument.Core level spectra free from Ar+-etch artefacts are presented.For each row in the periodic table C 1s BE increases from left to right.C 1s BE decreases linearly with increasing carbide/metal melting point ratio.AbstractWe reportx-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) core level binding energies (BE’s) for the widely-applicable groups IVb-VIb transition metal carbides (TMCs) TiC, VC, CrC, ZrC, NbC, MoC, HfC, TaC, and WC. Thin film samples are grown in the same deposition system, by dc magnetron co-sputtering from graphite and respective elemental metal targets in Ar atmosphere. To remove surface contaminations resulting from exposure to air during sample transfer from the growth chamber into the XPS system, layers are either (i) Ar+ion-etched or (ii) UHV-annealedin situprior to XPS analyses. High resolution XPS spectra reveal that even gentle etching affects the shape of core level signals, as well as BE values, which are systematically offset by 0.2–0.5 eV towards lower BE. These destructive effects of Ar+ion etch become more pronounced with increasing the metal atom mass due to an increasing carbon-to-metal sputter yield ratio. Systematic analysis reveals that for each row in the periodic table (3d,4d, and5d) C 1s BE increases from left to right indicative of a decreased charge transfer from TM to C atoms, hence bond weakening. Moreover, C 1s BE decreases linearly with increasing carbide/metal melting point ratio. Spectra reported here, acquired from a consistent set of samples in the same instrument, should serve as a reference for true deconvolution of complex XPS cases, including multinary carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides.
