Abstract
High-fluence N+-implantation in steel is monitored by use of nondestructive and contactless photothermal measurements during the implantation process. The modulated reflectivity is correlated with the results of Knoop hardness testing. On-line measurements on the steel surface and direct ion beam monitoring from the back side of a monitor sample are demonstrated. The maximum of the ion implantation induced hardness is strongly correlated with the phase transition indicated by the thermomodulated dielectric function.
