Abstract
⺠A new Heavy Ion ERDA set up has been constructed at iThemba LABS Gauteng. ⺠A bi-layer Al2O3/Ti film stack was prepared by electron beam evaporation, annealed and analysed using the new set up. ⺠Direct calculation and Monte Carlo simulation codes were used to extract depth profiles. ⺠Interfacial reactions at 800 °C suggest a case of the Kirkendall effect.
