Pb. Barna et al., On the formation of amorphous Al2Pt phase in heat-treated multilayers and high temperature sequential deposition, SOL ST ION, 141, 2001, pp. 57-62
It is shown that the solid-state reaction (SSR) taking place in multilayers
during additional heat treatment, and the high temperature sequential depo
sition (HTSD) of the component materials are complementary techniques in st
udying the reactive diffusion. The formation of amorphous Al2Pt phase has b
een analysed by these two techniques. The diffusion coefficients of Al in t
he amorphous phase, determined by these techniques, show good agreement. Th
e nucleation and grain growth of amorphous compound phases have been proven
for the first time. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
