Abstract

The RBS and channeling technique was used to study the correlation between ion beam mixing and amorphization in a Zr/Ni bilayer bombarded at low temperature with several noble gas ions. The amount of mixed atoms was found to increase linearly with the ion fluence, regardless of the nuclear energy density deposited by the ion beam. The channeling results demonstrate that the number of Zr atoms mixed into the Ni substrate monitors amorphization. A description of the spatial evolution of the amorphous layer formed by ion mixing is presented.
