Abstract

Ni/NiO interface structures were investigated using TEM, and the observed structures were compared with current heterophase interface models. Relative magnitudes of Ni/NiO interfacial energies were obtained from measurements of dihedral angles at triple grain junctions between Ni and NiO grains. Extra reflections in diffraction patterns from oxide grains adjacent to the Ni/NiO interface were compared with kinematical structure factor calculations for several proposed structures.
