Does the thermal spike affect low energy ion-induced interfacial mixing?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to obtain the three-dimensional distribution of interfacial mixing and cascade defects in Ti/Pt multilayer system due to single 1 keV Ar + impact at grazing angle of incidence.

Atomic transport in ceramics induced by electronic energy deposition (invited)

TL;DR: In this article, an overview over the results of a systematic study on swift heavy ion beam mixing of ceramic thin layer packages is presented, and it is shown that interface mixing due to electronic energy deposition in these systems is a threshold process and can be regarded as transient interdiffusion in the molten ion track.

Stability of nano-scaled Ta/Ti multilayers upon argon ion irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of argon ion irradiation on structural changes in Ta/Ti multilayers deposited on Si wafers were investigated, and it was found that individual nanocrystalline Ta and Ti layers remain unmixed, keeping the same level of interface planarity.

On the Experimental Investigation of Ion Beam Mixing in Thin Film Bilayers, Study of the Fe-Al Case

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that the differences in the geometry of collision cascades may account for the observed deviations of the experimental results from the theoretically predicted dependences of ion mixing on temperature and FD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion-beam induced transformations in nanoscale multilayers: Evolution of clusters with preferred length scales

TL;DR: In this article, an ion-irradiation-induced modification of a periodic Pt∕C multilayer system containing a small amount of Fe was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXRD) studies.

Introduction to percolation theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling solution for the Bethe lattice is proposed for cluster numbers and a scaling assumption for cluster number scaling assumptions for cluster radius and fractal dimension is proposed.

The Fractal Geometry of Nature

TL;DR: A blend of erudition (fascinating and sometimes obscure historical minutiae abound), popularization (mathematical rigor is relegated to appendices) and exposition (the reader need have little knowledge of the fields involved) is presented in this article.
