Suppose I have

solid 1 = poly crystal diamond

solid 2 = Iron

I put iron plate over diamond and anneal it at a temperature that facilitates diffusion.

Carbon will diffuse into iron

How will I calculate the etching rate?

  • Do we need to calculate change in mass over period of time??
  • Do we need see the etch depth over a period of time?

Once I get etch rate from experiment I guess I can calculate the rest from arhenius plot

(k = A * e^(-Ea/RT))

(Ea = -slope * R)

(A = y-intercept * e^(Ea/R)).

Can someone give me a reference in this regard?
