Electron radiation-induced material diffusion and nanocrystallization in nanostructured amorphous CoFeB thin film by Liu, Binghai, Tahmasebi, Taiebeh, Ong, Kenny, Teo, Hanwei, Mo, Zhiqiang, Lam, Jeffrey, Tan, Pik Kee, Zhao, Yuzhe, Dong, Zhili, Houssameddine, Dimitri, Wang, Jacob, Xue, Junming, Mai, Zhihong

“…It was found that electron radiation with different electron dose led to massive diffusion of Co, Fe, B and O atoms across the whole thin film layers, which directly resulted in the modification of the phase and composition of the thin film layers, i.e. the oxidation of Co, Fe, B with O diffusion and the formation of pure Si phase from SiO2. Two stages of material diffusion were observed. …”
