On Solid State Reaction of Multilayer Film of Al / Cu / Fe

Sampa Dhabal

Abstract: Recent interest in nano-quasi crystalline Al-Cu-Fe powder is due to the unusual physical properties shown by this material. Report here new findings on multilayer film of Al/ Cu/ Fe deposited on glass substitute. During the course of investigation the composition variation across the thickness of this multilayer ( at nano level) film Ar+ ion sputtering has been observed the formation of alloy film. The composition of this film is found to be close to that reported for nano-quasi crystalline Al /Cu /Fe powder sample. The results of the X- ray photoelectron ( XPS) and EDX studies are reported
