The titled paper contains a preliminary gure 3for curve-
tting of Ni–C and C–C peaks, with corresponding two errors
in the text and table 1, respectively.

The correct gure 3is the following:
Figure 3. C 1sXPS spectra of the Ni1−xCxlms with carbon content ranging from 5 at.% to 62 at.%. The main peaks are due to
sp2-hybridized free carbon (∼283.9 eV) and C–Ni bonds (∼283.3 eV). In addition, a contribution from sp3-hybridized C–C∗is
present (∼285.3 eV). The shifts of the C–C and C–Ni peaks with changing xindicate different bonding environments and
charge-transfer.
The sentence on page 5 of the original published paper ‘The
analysis shows that the carbon content of the carbide phase
strongly increases with the total carbon content from 15.7 at%
(0.16 at% total), 36 at% (0.38 at% total) to 60 at% (0.62 at%
total).’ should read:
The analysis shows that the carbon content of
the NiCyphase is low and decrease with the
total carbon content from ∼6.99 at% (16 at%
total), ∼1.44 at% (38 at% total) to ∼0.31 at%
(62 at% total).

The correct table 1and caption for carbon contents are the
following:
Table 1. Composition of the Ni–C lms for x=0.05, 0.16, 0.38, and 0.62. The amount of carbon in the carbide phase and the sp2fractions
were determined by integrating the areas under the corresponding peak structures in C 1sXPS spectra. The sp2fractions in Raman were
estimated from [27].
