Thermally and ion-induced phase formation in a Pd/Ge bilayer

Pd/Ge bilayer samples with three different overall compositions centered around Pd2Ge have been thermally annealed or irradiated with 300 keV Kr ions at room temperature. We observed that the first phase formed with ion irradiation, as in thermal annealing is Pd2Ge. In the Pd75Ge25 sample, the forma...

Zusammenfassung:Pd/Ge bilayer samples with three different overall compositions centered around Pd2Ge have been thermally annealed or irradiated with 300 keV Kr ions at room temperature. We observed that the first phase formed with ion irradiation, as in thermal annealing is Pd2Ge. In the Pd75Ge25 sample, the formation of an amorphous phase as well as the Pd2Ge phase has been observed after 3×1015 Kr+/cm2 irradiation. Successive irradiations up to the 5×1015 Kr+/cm2 led to the demixing of this amorphous phase to Pd2Ge and Pd.
