Abstract
Fe-Al thin-film multilayers were deposited under ultrahigh vacuum by e lectron-beam evaporation and then annealed in situ for times up to 30 h in the 300-450 K temperature range. Mossbauer and Auger analyses sho wed that interdiffusion phenomena occurred during the deposition proce ss, giving rise to a Fe-Al solid solution and to the formation of the Fe2Al5 intermetallic compound. Isothermal annealing significantly modi fied the relative amounts of these phases without destroying the perio dicity of the multilayer.
