The ignition of sputter deposited nanolaminate foils comprised of alternating Co and Al layers results in rapid, self-propagating formation reactions. The propagating waves present after ignition of 150 nm-thick foils are characterized in movie mode dynamic transmission electron microscopy where these are found to have reaction speeds and wave morphology that vary with bilayer thickness. High speed videography reveals different bilayer thickness-wave character relationships in 750 nm- and 7500 nm-thick Co/Al foils. The reaction speed dependencies on bilayer thickness are calculated for each total thickness by treating the effect of radiation loss as a perturbation from an analytical model described by the difference in the heat of reaction measured in calorimetry and the adiabatic heat of product formation. From this model, an effective activation energy, diffusion constant, and flame temperatures are obtained, which allows for an interpretation of the reaction phase variations with laminate design and their effects on propagating wave morphology.
