Abstract

We have compared the formation of amorphous alloys from Ni-Hf multilayer films by ion mixing and solid state diffusion. We find that ion mixing and solid state reaction produce significant differences in the composition range of the amorphous phase inside the mixed samples. Moreover, the thermochemical parameters which are of primary importance for the solid state reaction also influence the behavior of the Ni-Hf system under ion mixing.
