In situ research on temperature dependence of the lattice parameters of fusible metals in thin Cu-Pb and Cu-Bi films

Abstract

The results of in situ electron diffraction study of the temperature dependence of the lattice parameter of the fusible component in the Cu-Pb and Cu-Bi two-layer films are presented. It was found that at room temperature, the parameters of the Pb and Bi crystal lattices are agreed with tabular data, however, with temperature increasing one can observe the deviation from the values corresponding to bulk samples. This indicates a significant increase in the solubility of the components in the films under study. In the Cu-Pb films according to the estimation made by assuming a linear dependence of the lattice parameter of the solid solution from concentration, copper solubility in the solid lead near the eutectic temperature is about 0.8 at%, which is much greater than the value known for bulk samples
