Solid solutions in the form of alloy coatings are obtained in the entire concentration range of binary system using ion-plasma sputtering and the codeposition of Ag and Cu ultrafine particles. Sstudying the structure of solid solutions shows a change in the FCC-lattice parameters from silver to copper with a characteristic bend corresponding to the eutectic composition of the equilibrium phase diagram. Solid-solution decay begins at 100°C, and their complete decomposition occurs at 250°C. The surface structure of the initial solutions is presented by crystallites 20–30 nm in cross section; after decomposition, their size is less than 100 nm. For the latter, the distortions of the lattice parameters are 0.32% for a solution of Cu in Ag and 0.29% for a solution of Ag in Cu. The method of alloy production can be extended to the systems of metals immiscible in the solid phase.
