ABSTRACTIon beam irradiation of metal film/SiO2 interfaces causes reactions when the metals are those chemically capable of reducing SiO2. These reactions result in the formation of metal rich silicides in the region of the interface and an increase in the adhesion of the film to the substrate. For other nonreactive metals ion irradiation causes lateral transport of metal atoms resulting in the formation of an island structure. The results obtained by ion irradiation are compared with previous studies of high temperature thermal processing of metal films on SiO2.

The Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O class of type-II high temperature superconductors (HTS) have Tc's as high as 125K. Although they have good critical current values, when a field is applied the weak pinning and consequent flow of magnetic vortices are a major impediment to the usefulness of these materials. Ion irradiation has been shown to enhance the pinning. High quality single crystals, as determined with x-ray precession and HRTEM, with sharp HTS Meissner signals, were irradiated with 1.5 MeV Kr+ and Xe+ ions using the HVEM-Tandem facility at Argonne National Laboratory. Ion beam microstructural modification was studied in-situ using electron diffraction and after irradiation using HRTEM and nano-beam EDS on Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 (numbers designate the stoichiometry Tl-Ba- Ca-Cu-O) single-crystal HTS. After irradiation, microstructure was studied using the JEOL 2010 in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at the University of New Mexico in order to characterize the resulting irradiation-induced nano-size precipitates.
