B. Boubeker et al., Evolution of magnetic and mechanical properties in stainless steel films implanted with Kr ions, NUCL INST B, 155(3), 1999, pp. 289-294
Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to analys
e the magnetic and mechanical properties of nano-crystalline Fe-Ni-Cr films
in the as-sputtered slate and after ion implantation with a dose of 10(17)
Kr2+/cm(2). Before implantation, the films are found to be magnetic (hyper
fine field around 29.7 T) and the body-centred cubic structure is in a high
compressive stress state (-3.2 GPa), Measurements done after implantation
treatments show that the hyperfine field decreases from 29.7 down to 29.4 T
while residual stresses increase from -3.2 up to 1.4 GPa (the compressive
state is decreasing). No phase transformation is observed. (C) 1999 Elsevie
