Abstrakt: The phase and structural transformations that Pd–Ru(7 at %) solid solution thin films undergo during thermal oxidation in oxygen in the temperature range 570–1070 K are studied by transmission electron microscopy, high-energy electron diffraction, and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. With increasing oxidation temperature, the phase composition is found to change in the order: Pd–Ru(7 at %) solid solution → Pd–Ru(7 at %) + PdO + RuO2 → PdO + RuO2 → PdO–RuO2 solid solution. We show that the complete oxidation of Pd–Ru(7 at.%) thin films to form single-phase films of the PdO–RuO2 solid solution takes place at a temperature of 100 K higher compared to pure palladium films. The resistance sensor response of the prepared PdO−RuO2 oxide films to ozone in air is studied for the first time. The results suggest that this is a promising material for use in gas-sensing applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
