Electron energy loss spectroscopy of TiC, ZrC and HfC

The dielectric properties of commercial TiC, ZrC and HfC powders were determined by analyzing the low loss region of the EELS spectrum in a transmission electron microscope. From these data, the optical joint density of states (OJDS) were obtained by Kramers–Kronig analysis. As maxima observed in th...

Sumario:The dielectric properties of commercial TiC, ZrC and HfC powders were determined by analyzing the low loss region of the EELS spectrum in a transmission electron microscope. From these data, the optical joint density of states (OJDS) were obtained by Kramers–Kronig analysis. As maxima observed in the OJDS spectra are assigned to interband transitions across the energy gap, these spectra can be interpreted on the basis of existing energy-band calculations. Comparison between experimental results and theory shows good agreement.
