Activation volume for the interdiffusion of Ag-Au multilayers

Abstract: The activation volume ΔV for chemical diffusion in Ag50Au50 alloy has been determined from the pressure dependence of the rate of decrease in amplitude of composition-modulated thin films. Based on resistivity measurements, it is argued that the technique yields the bulk chemical diffusion coefficient, in close agreement with the experimental results. Eight measurements of the diffusion coefficient were made, four as a function of temperature (237–309 °C) at atmospheric pressure and four as a function of press… Show more

“…This is because the rapid interdiffusion of Ag and Au atoms necessary for the formation of homogeneous alloy nanoparticles was facilitated by the Fig. 1 Colloidal solutions of Ag, Au, and Ag-Au bimetallic nanoparticles combination of reduced dimension of the Ag nanoparticles, elevated temperatures, and the large number of vacancy defects created by the replacement reaction [38][39][40][41][42]. The composition of the alloy nanoparticles was determined by the Ag-to-HAuCl 4 ratio used in the preparation and the size of the starting Ag nanoparticles.…”

“…where D is the interdiffusion coeffi cient; C is the atomic concentration of metal A as a function of time ( t ) and distance ( x ) from the A -B interface; and C s is initial concentration of metal A at the A-B interface ( x = 0), which is in direct proportion to the number of A atoms deposited on metal B ; D is strongly dependent on temperature and the energy barrier to diffusion, [ 76,78 ] and can be described by the Arrhenius equation:…”
