Abstract

Percolation networks were observed in an immiscible Ag–Co alloy system after the Ag30Co70 alloy films were irradiated to a dose of 1 × 1016 Xe+/cm2 with 200 Kev Xe+ at room temperature. Fractal dimension D as well as percolation threshold Pc were calculated and exhibited good agreement with the results of the percolation theory. The mechanism of the formation of the ion-induced percolation structures is also discussed.
