Abstract: | Plane boundaries are in general reflective to diffusing atoms. From about 2000 heating periods of direct field ion microscope observations we have studied adatom plane edge interaction and determined the barrier heights of the W {110} plane boundaries in single atom diffusion of W, Re, and Ir. Using equations we have derived recently, the barrier heights ΔEb are found to be about 200 meV for these adatoms. |
