The influence of Y-ion implantation on the oxidation of {beta}-NiAl single crystals has been investigated using SEM, TEM, and STEM. Y ions having an energy of 70 keV were implanted with a concentration of 5 {times} 10{sup 16} ions/cm{sup 2}. The oxidation experiments were performed in air at 1223 K. Y-ion implantation resulted in a 45-nm disordered layer. Oxidation of Y-implanted {beta}-NiAl leads to the formation of a fine-grain layer, consisting of {gamma}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} containing Y and a {theta}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} layer. After further oxidation the metastable Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} transformed into {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, which started at the metal-oxide interface. Y-Al-garnet (YAG) particles were observed and Y segregation to {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} grain boundaries has been detected.
