Abstract
The nitridation of vanadium by ion beam irradiation is studied by the ion implantation method and the dynamic mixing method. The nitrogen io n implantation was carried out into deposited V(110) films. Using both methods, three phases are formed, i.e. alpha-V, beta-V2N, and delta-V N. Which phases are formed is related to the implantation dose or the arrival ratio. The orientation of the VN films produced by the dynamic ion beam mixing method is (100) and that of the VN films produced by the ion implantation method is (111). The nitridation of vanadium is a lso discussed in comparison with that of titanium and chromium.
