Abstract

Ion-beam mixing of Ti layers with sintered α-SiC and hot-pressed Si3N4 was measured for 1 McV Au+ at doses of 1X1016 cm−2 and 5X1016 cm−2. Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and cross-section transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) were used to evaluate the mixing. Mixing was observed in Ti/SiC system; however, there was no mixing in Ti/Si3N4 system. Results are discussed in light of the enthalpy of mixing criterion for metal-insulator systems.
