Popis: | Ar + assisted carbidization of Mo nanoparticles supported on TiO 2 (1 1 0) is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In order to activate the diffusion of carbon into the bulk of Mo nanoparticles we applied Ar ions (1 keV) during the exposure of C 2 H 4 . XPS exhibited that the decomposition of C 2 H 4 at 850 K accompanied by ion bombardment results in an almost complete carbidization of nanocrystalline Mo while this treatment performed without ion bombardment results only in the carbidization of the particle surface. The modification of the crystallinity of the Mo-carbide particles was deduced from STM measurements. |
