Abstract

Al/Si and Fe/Zr multilayer films were synthesized by sputter deposition. Modulation wavelengths (Λ) were varied from 3 to 35 nm for Al/Si multilayers and from 0.8 to 92 nm for Fe/Zr multilayers. Their structure and corrosion properties depend on Λ. In Al/Si multilayers, the corrosion resistance increased significantly with decreasing Λ. In Fe/Zr multilayers, the samples with Λ around 4 nm, in which a crystalline to amorphous transition was exhibited, appeared to be the most corrosion resistant. This behavior is discussed in connection with the multilayer structure.
