Nanocrystalline ordered vanadium carbide: Superlattice and nanostructure

Add time:07/30/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

The crystal structure, micro- and nanostructure of coarse- and nanocrystalline powders of ordered vanadium carbide V8C7 have been examined by X-ray and neutron diffraction and electron microscopy methods. The synthesized coarse-crystalline powder of ordered vanadium carbide has flower-like morphology. It was established that the real ordered phase has the composition V8C7-δ (δ ≅ 0.03) deviating from perfect stoichiometric composition V8C7. The vanadium atoms forming the octahedral environment □V6 of vacant sites in V8C7-δ are displaced towards the vacancy □. The presence of carbon onion-like structures was found in the vanadium carbide powders with a small content of free (uncombined) carbon. The nanopowders of V8C7-δ carbide with average particle size of 20–30 nm produced by high-energy milling of coarse-crystalline powder retain the crystal structure of the initial powder, but differ in the lattice deformation distortion anisotropy.
