Carbon diffusion in alumina from carbon and Ti2AlC thin films

Carbon diffusion is observed in single crystal a-Al2O3 substrates from carbon and Ti2AlC thin filmssynthesized via pulsed cathodic arc deposition. Diffusion was found to occur at substratetemperatures of 570 C and above. The diffusion coefficient of carbon in a-Al2O3 is estimated to beof the order 3...
