Description

The low-pressure discharge between two sets of cylindrical rod-type electrodes generates an intense pulse of a working gas plasma and a vapour cloud of electrode material. The near surface layer of the substrate exposed to such beams becomes molten in a few microseconds and then rapid diffusion of pre-deposited atoms into this region occurs. The RBS spectra of Pd-Ti system formed on the Ti foil substrate show an efficient mixing of Pd and Ti components. Mixing extends up to over 1 mm distance. (author)
