Abstract

High energy noble gas ion beams are currently used to induce the formation of specific surface alloys from vacuum deposited multilayered thin film structures on metallic or insulating engineering components. We discuss in this paper the formation of metastable and stable, amorphous and crystalline phases by ion beam mixing. In particular we discuss the intermetallic compounds of the Fe-Al thin film bilayer system formed on the surface of insulating substrates by means of high vacuum furnace annealing, ion bombardment of the bilayer interface and the simultaneous combination of these two metallurgical treatments.
