Abstract

Different phases of FeN thin films and Fe/FeN multilayers were prepared by reactive rf sputtering. The release of nitrogen and the crystallographic transformations during annealing were monitored by thermal desorption spectrometry and X-ray diffraction experiments. Finally, the diffusivity of nitrogen in the γ-Fe4N phase was evaluated.
