Abstract

Modifications of subsurface alloy composition by bombardment with ions of several keV energy were investigated theoretically, using a phenomenological model which includes the effects of various processes, such as preferential sputtering, displacement mixing, Gibbsian adsorption, radiation-enhanced diffusion, and radiationinduced segregation. The nonuniformity of damage rates, resulting from slow-down of the incoming ions, was also taken into account. The alloy composition evolution in time and space was calculated numerically for different temperatures, using concentrated Ni-Cu as a model alloy system. A good qualitative agreement between the present model calculations and recent experimental measurements was obtained.
