Abstract
In this work thin foils of amorphous alloys VP800 (Fe73Si16B7Cu1Nb3) and VV8025X (Fe4Co66B14Cu1Nb2Mo1) maintained at the onset point temperature for primary crystallisation were irradiated with slow heavy ions (100-300 keV Ar and Xe) at the fluence changing from 1010 to 1013 ions/cm2. The preferential surface modification during ion implantation-sputtering was analysed with SRIM and PIXE. With the use of CEMS Fe and Fe(Si) clusters accompanied by Fe3Si and even Fe23B6 nanocrystals were found in the films irradiated at a lower fluence, whereas rather amorphous structure was found in surfaces more heavily implanted.
