Abstract

The design of the necessary multilayer structures for producing superconducting thin films by ion beam mixing methods requires, among others, the knowledge of the individual (binary) mixing rates. In order to measure these, various combinations of Y, Ba, Cu, and Bi were irradiated with 600 keV Xe-ions at 80K and 300K. The systems exhibited a wide range of mixing behaviors which are also of fundamental interest. Ba and Cu readily formed the BaCu phase, and further mixing with Cu progressed only via binary collision mechanisms. At 80K Cu and Y were rapidly mixed in any ratio by thermal spikes, whereas a Cu rich sample rapidly formed the Cu6Y phase at 300K. Ba could not be mixed into Y or a Y-Cu mixture. Finally, irradiation of polycrystalline layers of Cu and Bi apparently lead to rapid motion of Bi along grainboundaries at both temperatures.
