Laser nitriding of niobium produces controllable beta-Nb2N and gamma-Nb4N3 phases that deliver fourfold surface hardness gains at low fluence and raise superconducting critical temperature to 15 K when gamma phase dominates.

Laser induced surface nitriding of niobium: phase evolution and superconducting behaviour
Laser nitriding of niobium produces controllable beta-Nb2N and gamma-Nb4N3 phases that deliver fourfold surface hardness gains at low fluence and raise superconducting critical temperature to 15 K when gamma phase dominates.
