文摘The valence electron structure (VES) in compound layer of steel plasma-nitrided at 560°C with rare earth (RE) addition was calculated based on the empirical electron theory (EET) of solids and molecules and BLD method. The results show that the presence of RE atoms diffused into surface layer leads to an increase of phase structure factor, which explains the catalyzing and micro-alloying effects of RE.
