ABSTRACTA qualitative study of ion beam mixing of multilayers has shown that the presence of hydrogen in the sample slows mixing considerably for Fe/Ti, and slightly for Ni/Ti. We have quantified this effect and extended the study to four more systems (Co/Ti, Pd/Ti, Ti/Cu, and Ti/Al) and to lower temperatures. The degree to which H charging reduced the mixing rate varied substantially with multilayer system. H was lost during mixing. H was lost fastest from those films for which the H effect was the smallest. Our data are consistent with a model that relates mixing inhibition to H-vacancy binding energy in the non-Ti component.

Previous qualitative studies of ion beam mixing of Ni–Ti and Fe–Ti multilayers at room temperature have shown the Ni–Ti samples to mix considerably faster than the Fe–Ti, in apparent contrast with theory. Furthermore, the Fe–Ti mixing was strongly inhibited by previous charging of the sample with hydrogen, whereas only a small effect was seen for Ni–Ti. We have quantified the mixing and extended the study to four more systems (Al–Ti. Co–Ti, Cu–Ti, and Pd–Ti) and lower temperatures. This allows some important conclusions to be drawn. Predictions based on a thermal spike model underestimate the larger room temperature mixing rates (Cu–Ti, Ni–Ti, and Pd–Ti), apparently because of contributions from a temperature dependent mechanism such as radiation enhanced diffusion. The lower mixing rates (Fe–Ti, Co–Ti, and Ni–Ti at ∼80 K) are overestimated by a factor of 2–3.5, possibly because of hydrogen contamination of the as-deposited samples. For the Al–Ti sample, the experimental mixing rate was in good agreement with predictions. Except for the Cu–Ti sample, results were seen to vary with heat of solution, rather than heat of mixing, suggesting significant contributions from the lower temperature after-spike regime. Hydrogen charging was found to reduce the Fe–Ti mixing rate by a factor of 7 at room temperature, whereas the Co–Ti and Ni–Ti rates were only reduced by a factor of 2, and the mixing of the Pd–Ti was influenced very little. Near liquid nitrogen temperature the Ni–Ti mixing rate was more strongly reduced (by a factor of 3–4). Our results suggest that the original hydrogen contamination in as-deposited samples may also cause significant reduction of mixing rates in some materials.

ABSTRACTThe Ar-ion-beam-mixing of the FeZr multilayer system is studied by conversion electron Mdssbauer spectroscopy. The dependence of the amorphization process on the layer thickness and ion dose is studied in detail for samples with Fe to Zr ratio of 1 and 0.5 and modulation wavelength of 5 to 90 nm.

A phenomenological model of ion-beam mixing during energetic collision cascades is developed, based on the concept of a thermal spike, to correctly predict that the mixing rate Dt depends linearly on nuclear stopping power (instead of a power-law dependence), and is correlated with a heat of mixing (analogous to Darken's relation). Previous ion-beam mixing experiments from 25 different metallic bilayers agree well with the model's predictions: mixing rates (Dt)/(ion-dose) ∼ 1 nm4, and an activation enthalpy of approximately 1 eV for atomic diffusion in liquid-like cascades.

Ion beam mixing has recently been found to be an effective method of producing amorphous alloys in the binary metal systems where the two original constituent metals are of different crystal structure. The mechanism of ion beam mixing are not well understood yet. Several mechanisms have been proposed to account for the observed mixing phenomena. The first mechanism is enhanced diffusion due to defects created by the incoming ions. Second is the cascade mixing mechanism for which the kinematicel collisional models exist in the literature. Third mechanism is thermal spikes. In the present work we have studied the mixing efficiency and ion beam induced amorphisation of Ni-Ti system under high energy ion bombardment and the results are compared with collisional models. We have employed plan and x-sectional veiw TEM and RBS techniques in the present work.
