From page 30...
... Similar to ion implantation, ion-beam mixing is suitable for surface engineering on the submicron scale and is also a nonequilibrium process. Because the composition of the mixed layer is not limited by sputtering, ionbeam mixing can produce new materials at compositions difficult to achieve by ion implantation.
