ABSTRACTWe have previously reported the delay and reduction of the hydriding of uranium by implantation of oxygen. The reduced hydriding was attributed to the presence of the uranium oxide layer created near room temperature. In this paper we present results for the layers formed by implantation of 80 keV C+ to a dose of 8E17 C/cm2. The carbide layers formed were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering, and glancing angle x-ray diffraction. Hydriding properties of both nonimplanted and implanted uranium were measured for 76 Torr hydrogen at 130°C. The implanted specimens had significantly longer incubation times for the start of the reaction after exposure to hydrogen and less area participating in the reaction.

ABSTRACTA refractory metallization of Au/Nb is proposed for use in first level metallization of GaAs devices. The diffusion and reaction kinetics are explored using sheet resistance measurements, along with X-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy depth profiling. The interdiffusion coefficients are reported. Diodes are fabricated using Nb/Au metallization and characterized

AbstractTi-6Al-4V alloy has been nitrided in plasmas of N2 -H2 -Ar. The structure has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the determination of the products formed. The information was supported by elemental analysis with Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).Three phases were identified as follows: δ-TiN, ε-Ti2N and α'-Ti (solid solution of nitrogen in titanium). The gas-feed composition affects the nitriding process as found from phase orientation and relative concentration of the products.
