Abstract

Pure rolled iron foils 0.025 mm thick have been implanted at two different angles of incidence and at several different temperatures. The implantation dose in each case was 5×1017 atoms/cm2. Both implanted and unimplanted foils were analyzed by transmission x-ray diffraction. Foils implanted at 320 ± 5°C exhibit peaks that correspond to the formation of several different phases of iron-nitride crystals, as observed by other investigators.[ 1,2] No such formation takes place at an implantation temperature of-20°C. We have evidence that the orientation of the iron nitride crystals is correlated with the orientation of the iron crystals.
