The project focuses in particular on the description of the interaction between noble metal films, widely used in different areas of micro- and nanofabrication, and extremely thin films of reactive transition metals, used to enhance adhesion onto the substrate - and thus referred as ``adhesion layers". Different material and multilayer combinations are investigated; particular emphasis is placed on the description and use of the recently developed transmission Kikuchi diffraction technique for the in-situ study of thin-film nanostructure evolution with changing chemical composition and temperature. | The project focuses in particular on the description of the interaction between noble metal films, widely used in different areas of micro- and nanofabrication, and extremely thin films of reactive transition metals, used to enhance adhesion onto the substrate - and thus referred as ``adhesion layers".
