Original Kurzfassung:
Mg?Zn thin film alloys were produced by thermal co-evaporation using single source and
dual source geometries. The films containing high amount of Zn (66 at.%) were prone to formation of metallic micro spheres on the surface
when high evaporation rates (10nms-1) were used. TheMg?27.1 at.% Zn bulk alloy was found to be suitable for co-deposition with Al for
producing Al?Mg?Zn thin film alloys. A low Al concentration gradient (5 at.%) could be obtained along the sample due to the high deposition
rates of Mg?Zn (7.5 nms-1) combined with low Al deposition rates (0.2nms-1). TheAl?Mg?Zn thin films showed an improved resistance against
chemical attack when higher amounts of Al are used, as shown by downstream analytics investigations using a flat flow electrochemical cell
coupled to an AAS system.
