Abstract
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) in conjunction with argon-ion sputte ring was used to determine the diffusion profiles in the thin-film Au- Ag multilayer system. Interdiffusion coefficients, obtained in the tem perature rang of 175-250 degrees C, have been derived from the change of the concentration amplitude of the structure and from the variation of the composition at the interface of two consecutive layers of the multilayer system. The influence of the depth resolution on the diffus ion data have been analyzed and discussed.
