Abstract
Near-surface compositional changes in alloys during ion bombardment have been studied theoretically. The employed scheme operates with a stable target, and the effects of preferential sputtering, collisional mixing, radiation-enhanced diffusion, and Gibbsian and radiation-induced segregation are allowed for. High-fluence composition profiles were determined directly from a nonlinear integro-differential equation, after insertion of feasible input, by means of an efficient iteration procedure developed recently. The dependence of the composition profile on input parameters such as target temperature and defect mobility has been examined for Ni–Cu, Ni–Ge and Ni–Pd alloys and compared to experimental results.
