Abstract

Evaporated bilayers and multilayers of Fe and Al have been studied during ion beam mixing with Xe ions using in-situ electrical resistivity measurements. Experiments have been performed in the composition range 40 – 58 at.% Al and at both temperatures 77 K and 300 K. A semi-empirical model is proposed to explain the observed kinetics. At low doses, a square root dependence of the mixed volume fraction on dose is found at 77 K but not at 300 K. The results are discussed by comparison with the different models proposed for ion beam mixing.
