Catalysis. Ion implantation and sputtering in general are useful methods for preparing catalysts on metal and insulator substrates. This has been demonstrated for reactions at gas—soHd and Hquid—soHd interfaces. Ion implantation should be considered in cases where good adhesion of the active metal to the substrate is needed or production of novel materials with catalytic properties different from either the substrate or the pure active metal is wanted (129—131). Ion beam mixing of deposited films also promises interesting prospects for the preparation of catalysts (132).

The talk will briefly review some of these developments ranging from high temperature equilibrium plasmas to cool plasmas, PECVD, ion implantation, ion beam mixing and ion assisted etching and deposition. Brief consideration will also be given to sputtering and ionised cluster beam deposition techniques in inorganic synthesis.

Deposition by sputtering and laser ablation (vapor-phase transfer from a target bombarded by inert gas ions or laser beam) or ion beam mixing of nanoscale multilayers, all of which similarly can produce nonequilibrium species Mechanical alloying, a process in which elemental powders are blended and alloyed by ball milling, can produce ultrafine grain sizes and nonequilibrium phases that store the mechanical energy imported in the process. ... 

Recent interest in ion beam processing has focused on studies of ion implantation, ion beam mixing, ion-induced phase transformations, and ion beam deposition. These interests have been stimulated by the possibilities of synthesizing novel materials with potential applications in the semiconductor, tribological, corrosion, and optical fields.

A major driving force in the development of the ion beam mixing process is the process s ability to produce ion-modified materials with higher solute concentrations at lower irradiation doses than can be achieved with conventional high-dose implantation techniques. A case-in-point is the formation of Au-Cu alloys on Cu substrates (Fig. 13.2). 

Equation (13.10) is demonstrated in Fig. 13.8, which shows the experimental mixing rate d(4Dt) / d

linear relationship indicates that the amount of mixing scales with AHmiJAHcoh and that (13.10) provides a reasonable prediction of the ion beam mixing rate in metal/metal bilayer systems irradiated with heavy ions at low temperatures.
