Order-disorder transition in sputter-deposited silver-zinc alloy films

An order-disorder transition between β ′ and β phases was observed to take place reversibly at 510 K in sputter-deposited AgZn alloy films of 30 nm thickness. The β ′ phase was found to exist in the as-deposited alloy film and the transition could be described by the order parameter of Bragg-William...

Summary:An order-disorder transition between β ′ and β phases was observed to take place reversibly at 510 K in sputter-deposited AgZn alloy films of 30 nm thickness. The β ′ phase was found to exist in the as-deposited alloy film and the transition could be described by the order parameter of Bragg-Williams theory.
