New Phases Formed During Nanocrystalline Titanium Preparation

Abstract
The nanocrystalline titanium samples, having a grain size of about 10 nm, are prepared by direct current magnetron sputtering and subsequent in situ compaction. Two new phases are observed by means of transmission electron microscopy, one is a body-centered cubic structure with a lattice parameter of a =0.323 nm, the other one is an orthorhombic structure with lattice parameters of a =0.303 nm, b =0.391 nm and c =0.488 nm. The formation of the two phases is also tentatively discussed.
