<span>We analyzed growth of films by gas phase epitaxy. Based on the analysis we formulate conditions to increase of homogeneity of properties of obtained films. We also present an analytical approach for analysis processes framework gas phase epitaxy with account natural convection and the possibility of changing the rate of chemical interaction between reagents.</span>

The effect of various natural convection regimes on the diameter of drawn polymer fiber was studied experimentally. Results indicate that as the buoyant potential of air within a cylindrical furnace enclosure is increased the natural convection regime transitions from laminar to oscillatory, and finally, to chaotic flow. The time-dependent heating caused by the oscillatory and chaotic regimes alters the rheology of the elongating polymer preform, causing detrimental time-dependent variations in the fiber diameter. The gas-phase temperature oscillations recorded on opposite sides of the necking perform were not identically in-phase indicating the convective flow is asymmetric in nature. The period of the recorded oscillations was found to be a function of the driving temperature difference, consistent with prior investigations. Furthermore, near the transition to chaotic flow sub-harmonics were observed within the recorded oscillations. When subjected to oscillatory and chaotic natural convection the standard deviation of the fiber diameter variations was up to 2.5 to 10 times greater, respectively, than that measured under laminar heating conditions. This represents a significant instability mechanism, one that has not been investigated within the context of the fiber drawing process to date.

For rapid surface engineering of Cr-containing alloys by low-temperature nitrocarburization, we introduce a process based on pyrolysis of solid reagents, e.g., urea, performed in an evacuated closed vessel. Upon heating to temperatures high enough for rapid diffusion of interstitial solute, but low enough to avoid second-phase precipitation, the reagent is pyrolyzed to a gas atmosphere containing molecules that (i) activate the alloy surface by stripping away the passivating Cr2O3-rich surface film (diffusion barrier) and (ii) rapidly infuse carbon and nitrogen into the alloy. We demonstrate quantitatively that this method can generate a subsurface zone with concentrated carbon and nitrogen comparable to what can be accomplished by established (e.g., gas-phase- or plasma-based) methods, but with significantly reduced processing time. As another important difference to established gas-phase processing, the interaction of gas molecules with the alloy surface can have auto-catalytic effects by altering the gas composition in a way that accelerates solute infusion by providing a high activity of HNCO. The new method lends itself to rapid experimentation with a minimum of laboratory equipment.
