Abstract

Amorphous Si/Ge artificial multilayers have been implanted with Si and B at liquid nitrogen temperature, and partially ion mixed with Ar at different temperatures. In all cases, the square of the mixing length was found to be proportional to the dose. Annealing of Si-implanted samples showed that after relaxation the diffusivity appeared unaffected by the implantation process. Annealing of the B-implanted samples showed an enhancement of the diffusivity at the higher dose. The diffusive component of the square of the mixing length in the Ar-ion mixed samples has an Arrhenius-type temperature dependence, with an activation enthalpy of 0.22 eV.
