Identification of phases in thin amorphous films of zinc phosphides
- Voronezh State University (Russian Federation)
Analysis of the experimental atomic radial distribution functions for thin amorphous films of zinc phosphides obtained by explosive laser sputtering has been performed within a fragmentary model. The experiment was carried out with an Emp-10a electron diffractometer in transmitted light at accelerating voltages of 50 and 75 kV. The films obtained by sputtering of {beta}-ZnP{sub 2} single crystals contained nanoparticles of this phase. The films based on Zn{sub 3}P{sub 2} turned out to be two-phase and consisted of dispersed Zn{sub 3}P{sub 2} and {beta}-ZnP{sub 2} nanoparticles. The composition of the film obtained on the basis of {alpha}-ZnP{sub 2} corresponded neither to any one of the known phases in the Zn-P system nor to any mixture of these phases. Crystallization of films in a divergent electron beam confirmed the results of the phase analysis performed using the model atomic radial distribution functions.
