Abstract

The extended Structural Difference Rule for amorphous phase formation states that an amorphous phase can be obtained by ion mixing with an alloy with a composition lying in a two-phase region in the equilibrium phase diagram. This criterion has to respond to the challenge that no amorphous alloy has been formed in some early studied systems exhibiting a two-phase region character, e.g. Ag-Cu(typical eutec-tic),Ag-Ni(almost entirely immiscible),etc‥

We performed ion mixing experiments for several systems at liquid nitrogen temperature using Xe ions with low current density. Amorphization was indeed observed in both Ag-Cu and Ag-Ni samples, as two halos were seen by TEM SAD immediately after adequate doses ion mixing. These not only support our two-pnase region rule, but also show the possibility of amorphization in a system(Ag-Ni) that has large positive heat of formation.
