Abstract

The diffusion of N in the group VB metals V and Nb has been studied in the previously uninvestigated temperature range 300–500 °C using ion-beam techniques. Diffusion couples were created by ion implantation. The time-dependent diffusion profiles were monitored by the use of the Nuclear Resonance Broadening (NRB) technique. New values for the solubility of N in Nb were obtained. The diffusion rates presented support recent observations of the diffusivity of interstitial impurities in body-centered cubic metals in which positive deviations from Arrhenius behaviour have been seen at high temperatures.
