Impurity diffusion in ion implanted AlN layers on sapphire substrates by thermal annealing

Hironori Okumura et al.

Summary: We report on the diffusion of impurities in ion implanted AlN layers after thermal annealing. By annealing at 1600 degrees C, silicon and magnesium atoms were found to diffuse into the AlN layer, while less change was observed for germanium atoms. Silicon implantation resulted in the introduction of vacancy-related defects. Higher annealing temperatures (>1300 degrees C) reduced the vacancy-related defects and led to the diffusion of oxygen atoms from the substrate due to sapphire decomposition. By controlling the annealing temperature and the distribution of silicon and oxygen concentrations, we were able to achieve reproducible electrical conductance in silicon-implanted AlN layers.

Structural vacancies in (Ti,Al)N: An ab initio study

Axel Forslund et al.

Summary: The zero K formation energies of metal and nitrogen vacancies in (Ti,Al)N alloys and at the (001) (Ti,Al)N/AlN interface were obtained through ab initio supercell calculations. The dependence of metal vacancies' formation energies on their local environment and type were analyzed and explained in terms of effective cluster interactions for unrelaxed calculations. It was found that the formation energy of all investigated vacancies increased with the number of Al nearest neighbors, but local lattice relaxations, especially in the case of metal vacancies, resulted in a complex nonlinear dependence, indicating the presence of strong multisite strain-induced interactions.

Precipitation-based grain boundary design alters Inter- to Trans-granular Fracture in AlCrN Thin Films

M. Meindlhumer et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the formation of precipitates in the Al 0.9 Cr 0.1 N thin films, induced by vacuum annealing, enhances the cohesive energy of grain boundaries, altering the crack propagation pathway and resulting in the simultaneous improvement of Young's modulus, fracture stress, and fracture toughness.

Dislocation Damping and Defect Friction Damping in Magnesium: Molecular Dynamics Study

Jingyu Zhai et al.

Summary: This study utilized the molecular dynamics method to investigate the damping mechanism in Mg alloys at the atomic scale. Different types of defects were found to have varying effects on dislocation damping and defect friction damping. The study also looked into the impact of strain amplitude and temperature on the damping capacity of Mg, revealing an exponential increase in damping with temperature and the appearance of a damping peak at 440 K due to the presence of dislocations at grain boundaries caused by boundary self-diffusion.

Mechanical properties of CrN-based superlattices: Impact of magnetism

L. Loefler et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of different interface orientations and magnetic configurations on the mechanical and structural properties of CrN/(TiN, AlN) superlattices. The oscillations of interplanar spacings were found to be unrelated to magnetic moments, emphasizing the importance of explicit consideration of interfaces and magnetic moments for accurate modeling of CrN-based superlattices. The theoretical predictions were supported by experimental results, highlighting the necessity of proper modeling techniques in studying materials with exceptional properties.
