Abstract

The microstructure of as-deposited granular Ag-rich (75%-90%) Ag-Fe and Ag-Co thin films was investigated by atomic resolution and nanochemical analysis electron microscopy. Our results suggested that the thin films are two separate phases. The poorly crystallized transition metal particles, with size of less than 1.5 nm in the thin films, were directly observed and were found to be separated by nanosized Ag crystalline particles.
