Investigating the thermodynamics and kinetics of thin film reactions by differential scanning calorimetry
Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate the utility of differential scanning calorimetry for investigating the thermodynamics and kinetics of a broad range of thin film reactions. We begin by describing differential scanning calorimeters and the preparation of thin film samples. We then cite a number of examples that illustrate how enthalpies of crystallization, heats of formation and enthalpies of interfaces can be measured using layered thin films of Ni/Al, Cu/Zr and Zr/Al and homogeneous thin films of Co - Si, Nb - Cu, Cr - Cu and Ge - Sn. Following these examples of thermodynamic measurements, we show how kinetic parameters of nucleation, growth and coarsening can also be determined from differential scanning calorimetry traces using layered thin films of Ni/Al, Ti/Al and Nb/Al and homogenous thin films of Co - Si and Ge - Sn. The thermodynamic and kinetic investigations highlighted in these examples demonstrate that one can characterize phase transformations that are relevant to commercial applications and scientific studies both of thin films and of bulk materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
