Abstract

Experiments were performed demonstrating that ion irradiation enhances diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM) in polycrystalline Au/Cu bilayers. Here, a model is presented relating film-averaged Cu composition in Au with treatment time, grain size and film thickness. Application of this model to the experimental results indicates that irradiation enhances DIGM by increasing the grain boundary velocity. The effects of DIGM and irradiation-induced grain growth on the temperature dependence of ion mixing in bilayers are discussed.
