Extra low carbon steel and pure electrolytic iron samples were yttrium impl
anted using ion implantation technique. Compositions and structures of pure
iron and steel samples were investigated before and after yttrium implanta
tion by several analytical and structural techniques (RBS, SIMS, RHEED and
XRD) to observe the yttrium implantation depth profiles in the samples. Thi
s paper shows the different effects of yttrium implantations (compositions
and structures) according to the implanted sample nature. (C) 1999 Elsevier
