The components of the macroscopic mechanical stress tensor of a stressed thin film, coating,
multilayer or the region near the surface of a bulk material can in principle be determined by …

With the aim of achieving a better understanding of the nitriding process of iron-based
components (steels), as applied in engineering practice, the theoretical background and …

The use of elevated target temperatures near 400° C during high flux ion implantation of N
2+ at energies ranging from 60 keV to 0.4 keV leads to a metastable, fcc high nitrogen solid …

The nitriding process typically involves the introduction of nitrogen into the surface-adjacent
zone of a component, usually at a temperature between 500 and 580 deg C. This article …

Abstract Models were derived for monolayer and bilayer growth into a substrate in which
diffusion of the solute governs the growth kinetics, as in gas-solid reactions, for example. In …

As a prerequisite for the predictability of properties obtained by a nitriding treatment of iron
based workpieces, the relation between the process parameters and the composition and …

In April 2005 the materials science beamline EDDI (Energy Dispersive DIffraction) at the
Berlin synchrotron storage ring BESSY started operation. The beamline is operated in the …

Mo thin films were deposited on glass substrates using direct‐current (dc) planar magnetron
sputtering. Mechanical determination of the internal stresses, using the bending‐beam …

The phase and composition depth distributions of a low‐energy (0.7 keV), high‐flux (2.5
mA/cm2) N implanted fcc AISI 304 stainless steel held at 400° C have been investigated by …

Tungsten thin films were deposited on glass substrates by direct‐current planar magnetron
sputtering. The induced thickness‐averaged film stress within the plane of the film was …
