Ion mixing and thermochemical properties of tracers in Ag

Abstract

Very thin films of Ni, Ta, W, Pb, and Bi in a Ag matrix were irradiated at 77 K with 330 keV Kr ions at doses from 3 to 7×10^15 ions/cm^2 and analyzed at room temperature by backscattering of 1.9 MeV He + . The measured mixing efficiencies, Dt/phiFD, for the various tracers correlate with their respective tracer impurity diffusion coefficients and impurity-vacancy binding energies in Ag. The results concur with previous ones with a Cu matrix and further support the idea that the parameters that are important for thermal diffusion are also important for ion mixing in a thermal spike.
