Abstract

The diffusion coefficients of nitrogen in N-implanted polycrystalline Ni have been deduced. Both bulk and Ni-evaporated samples implanted with nitrogen were annealed at 150–500° C. The nitrogen profiles were probed using the nuclear resonance broadening technique. The value of 0.99±0.12 eV for the activation energy and (3.0 −2.8 +40 )×10−6 cm2/s for the frequency factor were obtained for implanted N in bulk Ni. The solubilities for both the bulk and evaporated Ni samples are given. In evaporated Ni nitrogen migration is enhanced due to the defects arising during evaporation.
