Ti-catalyzed HfSiO4 formation in HfTiO4 films on SiO2 studied by Z-contrast scanning electron microscopy

Hafnon (HfSiO4) as it is initially formed in a partially demixed film of hafnium titanate (HfTiO4) on fused SiO2 is studied by atomic number (Z) contrast high resolution scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy and microscopy. The results show exsoluted Ti is the catal...
