Hj. Kang et al., DYNAMIC MONTE-CARLO SIMULATION FOR ION-BEAM MIXING, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 102(1-4), 1995, pp. 136-140
A dynamic Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) has been carried out to elucida
te the dynamic mixing process and the atomic transport in AI-Pd bilaye
r systems. MCS results reveal that the inward atomic transport is cont
rolled by both anisotropic and isotropic atomic transport, and the out
ward atomic transport is governed by only the isotropic motion. Thus t
he inward transport always dominates over the outward motion. Both the
anisotropic and isotropic term have overlayer thickness dependence, w
hich has a close relation with the mixing rate.
