Reactive multilayer systems represent an innovative approach for potential usage in chip joining applications. As there are several factors governing the energy release rate and stored chemical energy, impact of morphology microstructure on reaction behavior is great interest. In current work, 3D reactive microstructures with nanoscale Al/Ni multilayers were produced by alternating deposition p...

Abstract Since the growth morphology along and perpendicular to interface is important for supermirror applications, dependence of this on reactive gas has been investigated in Ni/Ti multilayers prepared by magnetron sputtering with variable O2/N2 ratios. The properties are characterized GIXRR, XDS, TEM measurements. Compared case without O2, presence 20% O2 deposition Ni layers contributes smo...
