Notes:
A quantitative evaluation of RBS data resulted in data for the parabolic reaction rate constants for the reaction between Al2O3 and NiO at temperatures from 960°C up to 1105°C. The activation energy and the preexponential factor were in good agreement with literature data. The experimental data of this work also permitted a detailed description of reaction mechanisms on a microscopic level. The reaction between Al2O3 and NiO starts with penetration of Al3+ ions along the grain boundaries of NiO, followed by counter-diffusion of Ni2+ ions. A thin spinel layer (NiAl2O4) is formed at the Al2O3/NiO interface, after a relatively short nucleation period. The reaction then proceeds, both by lateral and perpendicular diffusion. In an appendix, the detailed evaluation procedure of the spectra was described.
