Microstructural investigation on the grain refinement occurring in Cu-doped Ni-Ti thin films

The mechanism of grain refinement in Cu-doped Ni-Ti thin films have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sputter deposited (Ni,Cu)-rich Ni-Ti-Cu thin films exhibited a columnar structure consisting of grains with a decreasing lateral size with increasing Cu content. Cu-rich g...
