Ion Mixing of Ti/C and Fe/C Bilayers Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • ABSTRACTBilayer samples of Ti/C and Fe/C have been ion beam mixed with 400 keV Xe ions to a dose of 1 1016 ions/cm2. Mixing experiments were performed at 77, 300, 573, and 723 K. The transition between the temperature independent and temperature dependent mixing occurred between 300 and 573 K in Fe/C samples and between 573 and 723 in Ti/C sample. In the temperature independent mixing regime mixing is reasonably well explained by a thermodynamic model of ion mixing while at higher temperatures a radiation enhanced diffusion mechanism is evident.
