AbstractThe mixing of titanium overlayers with hydroxyapatite (HA) substrates via ion irradiation has been demonstrated. Analysis via secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) indicates an interfacial broadening of titanium and calcium of the implanted sample compared to that of the unimplanted sample. Attendant to the observed ion beam mixing of titanium into the HA, the oxygen signal of the titanium overlayer increases as a result of ion irradiation. It is supposed that this change is evident of diffusion through the metal layer and possibly from titania formation at the free surface and perovskite formation at the film/substrate interface. This possibility is consistent with thermodynamic predictions. Additionally, the force required to separate the film from the substrate increased as a result of ion irradiation, validating the continued study of ion beam processing of Ti/HA systems towards the improvement of long term fixation of implant devices.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we compare B diffusion in epitaxial Si, Si with 0.1%C, SiGe with 11% Ge and SiGe:C with 11%Ge and 0.1%C at 1000°C under interstitial, vacancy and non-injection annealing conditions. Diffusion coefficients of B in each material were extracted by computer simulation, using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) profiles obtained from samples before and after annealing.Interstitial injection enhances B diffusion considerably in all materials compared to inert annealing. In samples which experienced vacancy injection, B diffusion was suppressed. The results are consistent with the view that B diffusion in these materials occurs primarily via interstitialcy type defects.
