The propagation of self-sustained formation reactions in sputter-deposited Co/Al multilayers is known to exhibit a design-dependent instability. Multilayers having thin bilayers (<55 nm period) exhibit stable propagating waves, whereas those with a larger period react unstably. The specific two-dimensional (2D) instability observed involves the transverse propagation of a band in front of a stalled front commonly referred to as a “spin band.” Previous finite-element studies have shown that these instabilities are thermodynamically driven by the forward conduction of heat away from the flame front. However, the magnitude of that loss is inherently tied to the bilayer design in traditional bimetallic multilayers, which couples any proposed stability criteria to a varying critical diffusion distance. Here, this work utilizes a recently developed class of materials known as “inert-mediated reactive multilayers” to decouple the thermodynamic and kinetic contributions to propagating wave stability by reducing the stored chemical energy density in normally stable bilayer designs. By depositing an inert product phase (B2-CoAl) within the mid-plane of Co and Al reactant layers, spin instabilities arise as a function of both diluted volume and critical diffusion distance. From there, a stability criterion is determined for Co/Al multilayers based on enthalpy loss from the reaction zone, and its physical significance is explored.
