Description
Summary:•PdCu films on SiO2 and Al2O3 porous matrices were produced by magnetron sputtering.•SEM, SAED and HRTEM studies of ion-plasma PdCu condensate were carried out.•Differences of PdCu structure on surface and in pores of SiO2, Al2O3 were defined.•Main regularities of the PdCu formation in a limited pore volume were determined. The features of the growth morphology and structure of ion-plasma palladium-copper condensate both on the surface and in the pores of amorphous SiO2 and Al2O3 matrices were studied by scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Differences in the morphology and crystal structure of the metallic ion-plasma condensate obtained by magnetron sputtering deposition of the PdCu alloy on the surface and in a limited pore volume were shown and substantiated. The main regularities of the ion-plasma condensates formation on a developed surface with a high open porosity were discussed.
