Description

The diffusion of implanted In in α-Ti has been studied in the 823-1073 K temperature range by using the Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) technique. The measurements show that the diffusion coefficients follow a linear Arrhenius plot: D(T)=(2.0±1.3) x 10-6 exp[-(260±40) kJ/mol/RT] m2s-1. The diffusion parameters D0 and Q are typical of a normal substitutional behavior. Comparison of the present and previous published results of impurity diffusion in α-Ti does not show evidence for mass or size effects in the diffusion mechanism. (orig.)
