Abstract
Phase formation has been investigated for thin films in the following systems: Al/Pd, Pd2Al/Al and Pd/PdAl/Al between 200 and 450 °C. The films were prepared by sequential evaporation and coevaporation, annealed under vacuum, and analyzed by Rutherford backscattering and x-ray diffraction. Pd2Al3 is the dominant growing phase in the initial stages of the reaction for these samples. Al is the dominant moving species during the formation of Pd2Al3.
