Abstract

The crystal and electronic structure properties of Ni-B (nickel-boron) alloy coatings produced by an electrodeposition method have been investigated. The crystal structures of the alloy coatings were determined by x-ray diffraction patterns and supported by extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The local atomic structure around the Ni atom was obtained from EXAFS studies at the Ni K-edge, and the EXAFS data were fitted with theoretical calculations. With the addition of boron atoms in the nickel environment, NiB composite alloys were formed in the crystals with an orthorhombic "Cmcm" structure. The analysis revealed a limited effect of boron doping in the electronic structure of the nickel atoms. Boron atoms were determined as sitting between the Ni atoms and causing a disturbance in the crystal structure due to providing inhomogeneous interstitial potential and defects.
