AbstractA high-throughput investigation of metallic glass formation via solid-state reaction was reported in this paper. Combinatorial multilayered thin-film chips covering the entire Ti–Ni–Cu ternary system were prepared using ion beam sputtering technique. Microbeam synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements were conducted, with 1,325 data points collected from each chip, to map out the composition and the phase constitution before and after annealing at 373 K for 110 hours. The composition dependence of the crystal-to-glass transition by solid-state reaction was surveyed using this approach. The resulting composition–phase map is consistent with previously reported results. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) was performed on the representative compositions to determine the inter-diffusion between layers, the result shows that the diffusion of Ti is the key factor for the crystal-to-glass transition. In addition, both layer thickness and layer sequence play important roles as well. This work demonstrates that combinatorial chip technique is an efficient way for systematic and rapid study of crystal-to-glass transition for multi-component alloy systems.

AbstractVapor-deposited Zr-Fe multilayered thin films with various wavelengths and of overall composition either 50% Fe or Fe-rich up to 57 % Fe were either irradiated with 300 keV Kr ions at temperatures from 25K to 623 K to fluences up to 2 × 1016 cm−2, or simply annealed at 773K in-situ in the Intermediate Voltage Electron Microscope at Argonne National Laboratory. Under irradiation, the final reaction product is the amorphous phase in all cases studied, but the dose to amorphization depends on the temperature and on the wavelength. In the purely thermal case (annealing at 773 K), the 50–50 composition produces the amorphous phase but for the Fe-rich multilayers the reaction products depend on the multilayer wavelength. For small wavelength, the amorphous phase is still formed, but at large wavelength the Zr-Fe crystalline intermetallic compounds appear. These results are discussed in terms of existing models of irradiation kinetics and phase selection during solid state reaction.

Inert-gas markers, Rutherford backscattering, and x-ray diffraction were used to investigate solid-state interdiffusion in Ni/Zr and Au/Zr bilayer films as a function of temperature; microstructural studies during annealing were performed in situ, in a high-voltage electron microscope. Au, in contrast to Ni, is not an anomalously fast diffuser in crystalline Zr. Nevertheless, an amorphous product phase was found in both alloy systems for reaction temperatures  550 K; heterogeneous nucleation of the amorphous phase was observed in Au/Zr. The interdiffusion data reveal two distinct Arrhenius regimes, 330–∼470 K and ∼480–550 K, with quite different apparent activation enthalpies. These thermal interdiffusion results are compared with temperature dependent studies of ion-beam mixing in similar bilayer specimens. This comparison indicates that the enhanced efficiencies observed for ion-beam mixing above ∼480 K result from the as-prepared metastable microstructurc, and are not due to radiation-enhanced diffusion.

AbstractWe present the possibilities that metallic superlattices offer for the study of materials at length scales ranging from a few to hundreds of angstroms. The materials problems being studied span practically all interesting solid-state phenomena, including superconductivity, magnetism, elastic behavior, development of novel materials, diffusion, ion beam mixing, crystallization, and amorphization. Several applications are also being pursued. We present a few examples of problems that can be studied at different length scales. Emphasis is made that for a proper study of materials properties, extensive structural characterization is imperative.
