Abstract

We describe a low-temperature solid-state interdiffusion technique that allows reaction between spatially separated reacting species and its application in the Al–Ru alloy system. This technique uses a liquid-metal solvent (Bi) as a medium for the transfer of Al to the surface of Ru powder where reaction occurs with the formation of nanocrystalline AlxRu1−x product phases. X-ray diffraction measurements are used to follow the time and temperature dependence of the reaction. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy allows direct imaging of the growth and morphology of the AlxRu1−x product phases.
