Diffusion of aluminum in ion-implanted α-Ti

Abstract
The diffusion of Al in polycrystalline ion-implanted α-Ti has been studied in the temperature range 600–850 °C using ion-beam techniques. Diffusion couples were created by ion implantation. The time-dependent concentration profiles were monitored by the use of the nuclear resonance broadening technique through the 27Al(p,γ) 28Si reaction. The effect of the implantation energy and implanted dose on the diffusivity of Al has been investigated. The value of 1.62±0.11 eV for the activation energy and (7.4±9.8)×10−7 cm2/s for the frequency factor was obtained. The present result is discussed in the framework of the Ti diffusion barrier used in semiconductors.
