Abstract
A correlation between the cohesive energy of elemental solids and the characteristic temperature Tc for the onset of radiation‐enhanced diffusion during ion mixing is established. This correlation enables one to predict the onset of radiation‐enhanced diffusion for systems which have not yet been investigated. A theoretical argument based on the current models of cascade mixing and radiation‐enhanced diffusion is provided as a basis for understanding this observation.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
