The effect of codeposited nitrogen on the amorphous-polycrystalline resistivity transformation temperature of thin iron films

Results are presented for the dependence of the amorphous-polycrystalline transformation temperature, T_t, on the concentration of codeposited gaseous nitrogen in thin iron films. These are compared with the effect of other impurities on T_t for the case of amorphous iron films. It is found that there is an approximate logarithmic dependence of T_t on impurity concentration.
