Interface induced diffusion

Abstract Interface induced diffusion had been identified in a thin film system damaged by electron bombardment. This new phenomenon was observed in Al2O3 (some nm thick)/Si substrate system, which was subjected to low energy (5 keV) electron bombardment producing defects in the Al2O3 layer. The defe...
