Description

The mixing effect of three different film/substrate systems, Ti/Al, Al/Ti and Ni/Ti, which were irradiated by intense pulsed ion beam, was studied with Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). It was found that a quite well mixed layer with gradient components was formed in Ni/Ti combination. The thickness of the mixing layer is far beyond the ion range. They were mixed probably in molten state. It was also found that the mixing degree strongly related to the difference of the melting points of film/substrate couple, as well as the deference of the surface tensions. (authors)
