Amorphization by Interdiffusion in Metallic Multilayers

摘要

The thesis consists of a collection of studies on the formation of amorphous phases in Ni/Ti and Ni/Ta multilayers by interdiffusion at elevated temperatures. The method for producing amorphous alloys has received considerable attention since its discovery in 1983, not only because of its potentially technological significance, but also because the study of this specific process is expected to provide more insight in the fundamentals of interdiffusion-induced phase transformations.
