Abstract
Nickel carbide (NiC3) films are formed by the carburization of nickel films in CO at 350°C. The presence of Ni3C is demonstrated by transmission electron diffraction. The carbon Auger electron signal of Ni3C is identical with the carbon Auger spectra attributed to Ni3C by previous authors. The position of the C 1s electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis peak is within 1 eV of the C 1s peak produced by graphite. The grain size of polycrystalline Ni3C is significantly larger than the grain size of the nickel film from which it is grown. © 1979.
