Popis: Rutherford backscattering analysis of the interface of thin gadolinium films deposited on nickel, copper and silver without annealing and annealed at 200°C has allowed determination of the diffusion coefficients of oxygen in gadolinium and of gadolinium in metals. From these values, activation energies Q and frequency factors D0 have been extracted. The results obtained for the diffusion of oxygen in gadolinium are Q = 0.48±0.02 eVatom−1 and D0 = (0.58±0.31) × 10−8cm2s−1. At higher temperature, the interdiffusion of Gd + O in copper gives Q = 0.70±0.21 eV atom−1 and D0 = (0.12±0.02) × 10−10cm2s−1.
