Combined refinement of diffusion coefficients applied on the Nb-C and Nb-N systems

A novel technique was used for the calculation of diffusion coefficients in the niobium carbides and nitrides prepared by reaction diffusion. The temperature ranges investigated were 1500degC to 2100 degC for the Nb-C system and 1400degC to 1800degC for the Nb-N system. Three independent theoretical approaches were applied and their results are compared. In the metalloid-rich phases, the concentration-dependent diffusion coefficients were calculated from the concentration profiles; two models of layer growth were used to obtain the concentration-independent diffusion coefficients in all phases. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of carbon in Delta-NbC^sub 1-x^ shows a decrease with ...
