In-situ observation of structural and chemical transitions in B4C based layered systems
Applied Surface Science(2020)
Abstract
•Boron depletion in B4C based thin layered systems was investigated.•Pt/B4C was studied with in-situ X-ray reflectivity during annealing in air.•The study was complemented by depth-resolved XPS, EDX, and TEM.•An interplay of reactive B4C, catalytic Pt, and protective C was observed.•The method is a convenient tool to optimize multilayer fabrication strategies.
