Epitaxial Growth of Nitrides in Ti Implanted with N

Abstract
The successive changes of structure of titanium implanted with nitrogen ions have been investigated via in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) under ultrahigh vacuum, using the microscope on line with our implantor. This facility allowed us to observe phases and orientation relationships which have not been previously reported. The similarity of the Ti sublattices in the Ti2N, TiN nitrides and in the host metal induces a simple epitaxy between close-packing planes and directions.
