Abstract
We have studied the diffusion in Ce/Ni multilayers with different periods (65 Å, 195 Å, 325 Å). We have observed that the final state of the diffusion process could vary as a function of the period, giving respectively a homogeneous amorphous alloy, a homogeneous crystalline compound and mixed phases.
