Structure and electrical properties of ScCu4 as bulk alloy and thin film
摘要:
ScCu4 is very sensitive to mechanical grinding. The influence of temperature and duration of recrystallization heat treatment on diffraction pattern and electrical conductivity of different specimens of ScCu4 have been investigated. Cast alloys of ScCu4, as well as ribbons obtained by rapid quenching of the melt, are crystalline. Thin films of ScCu4 prepared by evaporation and by sputtering are amorphous. The latter materials are semiconductors while the former have electrical conductivities of the metal type.
