Abstract
The composition and structure of the thin conversion films at pre- and breakdown state are investigated. The breakdown leads to a modified structure and composition. Raman spectra of modified films show the formation of glassy carbon with a defined size of crystallites. A typical morphology characterized by a strong structured surface indicates this breakdown state. Electron diffraction patterns of the pre-breakdown state show the presence of titanium nitride, titanium carbide and titanium oxide.
