In February I’ve started the XRD analysis of chosen Zn-Mo Alloy layers.
XRD analysis does not show the presence of molybdenum oxides, neither metallic molybdenum nor other molybdenum compounds (ZnMo7 and ZnMo22). It was found that only the hexagonal system of the Zn phase is present in the deposits The lack of any peak connected with molybdenum, regardless of the amount in the deposit, suggests that it has a nanometric or amorphous structure. The XRD studies have to be continued.
