Abstract

The interdirfusivity in artificial amorphous Si/Ge multilayers is found to be strongly dependent on the average composition of the films. The interdirfusivity of films with different average composition was determined from the decay of the first X-ray satellite. The nonlinear diffusion resulting from the composition dependence was observed by the evolution of the higher-order satellites.
