The authors report experimental evidence of an ion-induced disconnected branching tree morphology (DBTM) as a new fractal structure. The DBTM fractal is characterised by the discontinuity of pattern components and the intrinsic branching angles. It is found that the fractal dimension of the DBTM increases with increasing ion fluence. A semi-quantitative analysis is also presented to enhance their understanding of the observed phenomenon.

Self-avoiding magnetic chains (SAMCs) were observed in annealed Fe-Cu multilayers. Scaling analyses showed that these structures were statistically self-similar and satisfied the power-law relationship well in their stretched dimension. Compared with the self-avoiding walks, the SAMCs were found to have smaller global fractal dimensionality and less geometrical entropy, which were attributed to the existing magnetic interaction and local lattice coherence during their growth, respectively. A modified tip-to-tip model was proposed to simulate the aggregation processes, and the results were in agreement with the observations.

A structural difference rule is formulated according to which an amorphous binary alloy film is formed by ion mixing of multilayered sample when the two constituent metals are of different structure, apparently independently of their atomic sizes and electronegativities. The rule is supported by the experimental results obtained on eight selected binary metal systems, which cover all possible combinations between b. c. c. , f. c. c. and h. c. p. structures. The previous data reported in the literature also support this rule. 25 rfs.

Ion-induced mixing not only can lead to stable compound formation, but also to metastable alloy formation. In some metal-metal systems, terminal solubilities can be greatly extended by ion mixing. In other cases, where the two constituents of the system have different crystal structures, extension of terminal solubility from both sides of the phase diagram eventually becomes structurally incompatible and a glassy (amorphous) mixture can form. The composition range where this bifurcation is likely to occur is in the two-phase regions of the phase digram. These concepts are potentially useful guides in selecting metal pairs that from metallic glasses by ion mixing. In this report, phenomenological correlation between stable (and metastable) phase formation and phase diagram is discussed in terms of recent experimental data.

Ion-beam mixing is investigated of Ti/SiO//2, Cr/SiO//2 and Ni/SiO//2 bilayers with 290 keV Xe. These systems were chosen in order to isolate the role of chemistry in the ion-beam mixing process. At 750 K, enhanced mixing occurs for the thermally reactive systems Ti/SiO//2 and Cr/SiO//2; however, mixing is suppressed for Ni/SiO//2. The fact that the deep tail of the metal profiles is not altered suggests that only the cascade mixing process is affected by chemical driving forces.
