Pulsed Laser Treatment of Virgin, Self and Europium Implanted Nickel: Evidence of Defect Impurity Interaction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
We present a comparative study (by 1.8 MeV 4He+ ion channeling) of virgin, self and Eu implanted single crystals of nickel, under irradiation with single ruby laser pulses. The as implanted Eu is nearly non-substitutional and remains so, even after laser treatment. The comparative defect dechanneling behaviour provides explicit evidence of defect-impurity interaction which may be suppressing the formation of an expected metastable solid solution in the Eu-Ni system, which possesses miscibility in the liquid phase. A clear surface Eu peak appears at 2.1 J/cm2.
