Abstract

Surface and bulk interactions between a metal M (M = Au, Cu or Ni) and monocrystalline α-SiC are studied. Surface interactions are quantified by the work of adhesion measured by the sessile drop technique under high vacuum. Products of M-SiC bulk reactions are characterised by electron microscopy and microprobe analysis. Interpretation of experimental results is based on classical thermodynamics for equilibria of bulk phases and on interfacial thermodynamics for adsorption phenomena and wetting.
