S p e c i f i c a l l y , it was independent of both anneal t i m e and the amount of i m p l a n t e d iron. In the p a r t i c u l a r r u n under c o n s i d e r a t i o n , the peak i r o n c o n c e n t r a t i o n of 20 at. p e t was above the 8.3 at. p c t l e v e l c o r r e s p o n d i n g to F e B e l t .

H o w e v e r , the a m p l i t u d e of the d i f f u s e d i r o n t a i l did not change d u r i n g annealing, even when 75 p e t of the i m p l a n t e d i r o n had diffused f r o m the i m p l a n t e d r e g i o n .
