Abstract

The first quantitative measurements of solute segregation at ceramic/metal (C/M) heterophase interfaces are presented for the MgO/Cu (Ag) and CdO/Ag (Au) systems. Interfaces are produced by internal oxidation of ternary alloys. Solute segregation at C/M interfaces is induced by intermediate-temperature annealing treatments. The Gibbsian interfacial excess of solute, Γ_solute, at these interfaces is determined in a direct, quantitative manner by atom-probe field-ion microscopy (APFIM). These measurements are complemented in the MgO/Cu (Ag) system by a composition analysis of this interface employing electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Analyses of 15 {222} MgO/Cu (Ag) interfaces by APFIM show an average segregation level of (4.0±1.9)×10¹⁴ atoms/cm² or 0.22±0.10 effective monolayers at 500 °C. Analyses of three {222} CdO/Ag (Au) interfaces show an average segregation level of (3.0±1.0)×10¹⁴ atoms/cm² or 0.22±0.07 effective monolayers at 400 °C. Whereas {222} CdO/Ag (Au) interfaces in unannealed specimens show no evidence of gold segregation. These results are discussed in view of recent models of interfacial segregation.
