The size of thermal spikes in xenon-irradiated Ag/Fe bilayers

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffusion of 111In into the Ag layer can be modeled if the local spikes have an average diameter of some 5 nm, and the fraction of tracer atoms being transported into the ag layer cannot be explained by ballistic mixing, but is reproduced when assuming local spikes to develop.

Ion beam mixing of copper-gold multilayers

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of solid solutions in copper/gold thin multilayers induced by ion implantation has been investigated using Rutherford backscattering, highvoltage electron microscopy and transmission high-energy electron diffraction.

Ion implantation—A modern tool of solid state physics 0

TL;DR: Ion implantation is very successfully applied in semiconductor physics in combination with heat treatments to produce equilibrium systems as discussed by the authors, however, it is primarily, however, a technique resulting in a nonequilibrium state, especially after low temperature (T < 15 K) implantation.

Ion-beam-induced SbSi mixing

TL;DR: Firsov et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of film thickness on mixing by varying the antimony film thickness in the range 50-200 A and the results were compared with those obtained using a computer simulation model based on the MARLOWE code and using a Thomas-Fermi potential with a screening length suggested by Firsov.

Mixing in Au/Ge system induced by Ar + ion irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the mixing of Au/Ge bilayer deposited onto glass substrate induced by Ar ions was investigated by bombarding the sample with 400-keV 40Ar+ beam with a fluence up to 1.2×1017 ions/cm2 at a constant flux of 0.25μA/cm 2.

Theory of Sputtering. I. Sputtering Yield of Amorphous and Polycrystalline Targets

TL;DR: In this article, an integrodifferential equation for the sputtering yield is developed from the general Boltzmann transport equation, and solutions of the integral equation are given that are asymptotically exact in the limit of high ion energy as compared to atomic binding energies.

The depth resolution of sputter profiling

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the bulk radiation damage accompanying sputtering events sets ultimate limits to the depth resolution attainable in sputter profiling, and guidelines for selection of projectile species and energies to minimize such mixing are given and numerical estimates for attainable depth resolutions.
