Abstract

Ion beam mixing of Cu/Mo multilayer samples and demixing of Cu-Mo alloy samples were examined as functions of temperature and ion mass. Even at liquid nitrogen temperature, the mixing of one component in other was very small under 1.0 MeV Kr irradiation. The maximum solubility was about 10%. Irradiation of homogeneous Cu-Mo alloys under the same conditions, moreover, led to phase separation. These conclusions were deduced from bulk X-ray diffraction measurements and corroborated by EXAFS examination. The maximum solubility obtained by irradiating multilayer samples occurred at about 600 K. At lower or higher temperature, the solubility of Cu in Mo-rich phase was lower. A model based on the ballistic difflusion explains these results.
