Abstract
The suitability of characterizing the nitrogen distributions in near‐surface regions of compact samples of TiN, ZrN, HfN, VN and NbN by means of a series of inductive T~c~ measurements with successive etching was investigated. The distribution profiles could be determined for TiN, ZrN and VN with an accuracy exceeding that of established microanalytical tools. One problem encountered in the characterization process was the non‐isotropic removal of layers. For HfN and NbN, nitrogen profile measurements were not possible because of the intrinsic T~c~ behaviour.
