Epitaxial growth of γ-Al2O3 on Ti2AlC(0001) by reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering

Al2O3 was deposited by reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering at 600 °C onto pre-deposited Ti2AlC(0001) thin films on α-Al2O3(0001) substrates. The Al2O3 was deposited to a thickness of 65 nm and formed an adherent layer of epitaxial γ-Al2O3(111) as shown by transmission electron microscop...
