TI - Combined In-Situ QEXAFS and XRD Investigations on Nb-Treatments in N₂ Gas Atmospheres at Elevated Temperatures J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - Thin polycrystalline Nb metal foils were treated in N₂ gas atmospheres at elevated temperatures of 900 °C up to 1200 °C. A combination of transmission mode Quick X-ray absorption spectroscopy (QEXAFS) at the Nb-K-edge and X-ray diffraction (XRD) used in parallel were used to investigate changes in the atomic short and long-range structure of the bulk Nb-material in-situ. A dedicated high-vacuum heating cell with a base pressure of 10⁻⁶ mbar was used to perform the heat treatments under vacuum and nitrogen gas atmosphere. The treatments typically included (i) a preheating at 900 °C under high-vacuum, (ii) a treatment in 3 mbar nitrogen gas at the desired temperature and (iii) a cooldown to room temperature under vacuum conditions. The QEXAFS and XRD data were collected in parallel during the entire process with a time resolution of 4 s. While the samples treated at 900 °C show the typical N-uptake to the octahedral interstitial sites, the samples treated at higher temperatures show the growth of distinct niobium nitride phases. The results will be discussed in more details during the conference.
