Formation of substitutional alloys by ion implantation in metals

Ion channeling and backscattering have been used to measure the lattice location of Au implanted at room temperature into single-crystal Ni, Cu, Pd, and Ag. In all cases the Au atoms are found to be 100% substitutional with no thermal annealing. Au implanted at 15°K in Cu is found to be 100% substit...

Description
Summary:Ion channeling and backscattering have been used to measure the lattice location of Au implanted at room temperature into single-crystal Ni, Cu, Pd, and Ag. In all cases the Au atoms are found to be 100% substitutional with no thermal annealing. Au implanted at 15°K in Cu is found to be 100% substitutional. High-dose implantations of W, a reportedly insoluble impurity in Cu, are also observed to be highly substitutional after implantation.
