Differential scanning calorimetry study of solidhyphen;state amorphization in multilayer thinhyphen;film Ni/Zr

摘要

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to study solidhyphen;state amorphization and subsequent crystallization in sputtered multilayer Ni/Zr thin films. Initial results provide quantitative information about the thermodynamics and kinetics of these processes. An analysis of DSC data enables the activation energy and prehyphen;exponential factor for interdiffusion of Ni and Zr inahyphen;NiZr to be found.
