Bimetallic, reactive multilayers are uniformly structured materials composed of alternating sputter-deposited layers that may be ignited to produce self-propagating mixing and formation reactions. These nanolaminates are most commonly used as rapid-release heat sources. The specific chemical composition at each metal/metal interface determines the rate of mass transport in a mixing and formation reaction. The inclusion of engineered diffusion barriers at each interface will not only inhibit solid-state mixing but also may impede the self-propagating reactions by introducing instabilities to wavefront morphology. Here, this work examines the effect of adding diffusion barriers on the propagation of reaction waves in Co/Al multilayers. The Co/Al system has been shown to exhibit a reaction propagation instability that is dependent on the bilayer thickness, which allows for the occurrence of unstable modes in otherwise stable designs from the inclusion of diffusion barriers. Based on the known stability criteria in the Co/Al multilayer system, the way in which the inclusion of diffusion barriers changes a multilayer's heat of reaction, thermal conductivity, and material mixing mechanisms can be determined. These factors, in aggregate, lead to changes in the wavefront velocity and stability.
