Popis: The diffusion of gold in amorphous W80N20 deposited onto oxidized silicon substrates is investigated by the radiotracer method using ion beam sputtering as a serial sectioning technique with high depth resolution. The diffusivity in the investigated temperature range (733–775 K) is given by D( 195 Au ) = 5.83 × 10 −9 exp (−195 kJ mol −1 /RT) m 2 s −1 . A comparison with available data on diffusion in amorphous metallic alloys shows that gold diffusion in amorphous W-N is indeed an extremely slow process.
