Abstract

The effect of ion-beam-induced atomic mixing and subsequent thermal transformations at the Fe:SiO2 (single crystal) interface have been investigated by means of conversion-electron Mossbauer spectroscopy and small-angle x-ray-diffraction measurements. The ion-beam-mixed sample in the as-mixed state shows the presence of the Fe7SiO10 phase along with magnetic Fe-Si-O complexes. The mixed state undergoes structural modifications upon annealing at 450 °C for several hours leading to an increase in Fe3+-to-Fe2+ ratio. The as-deposited sandwich structure upon annealing at 450 °C leads to the formation of metal island structures.
