โœฆ Synopsis


The reactive interdiffusion of Co /Al bi-layers is investigated by means of atom probe tomography. The samples are prepared by deposition of corresponding materials onto W substrate tips with a radius of curvature of |50 nm. Nucleation of 21 Al Co phase particles is detected only after reaching a critical concentration gradient of |0.3 nm at the interface. The fast 9 2 growth of the particles before the formation of a dense layer is explained by atomic transport through the incoherent interphase boundary. After consumption of the remaining pure Al, B2-ordered AlCo is detected as a second product phase.
