Defect production in ion-irradiated aluminum

Amorphization processes in electron and/or ion-irradiated silicon

“…14 ' 15 Hence, the spatial distribution of r's and SIA's in the primary state of damage is radically different for the two irradiation conditions. In the case of the dual irradiation we are dealing with an open thermodynamic system for which R is the control variable.…”

Computer Modelling of Radiation Damage in Cation Sublattice of Corundum

“…The comparison of the observed number of oxygen vacancy centres (F and F + ) [10,11] with collision calculations gives a concentration ratio of only 0.035 [12]. In a recent paper Zinkle [13] has analyzed the measurements of the surviving defect fraction in Al 2 O 3 [14 to 18] and bulk Al [19] as a function of the average primary energy of knock-on atoms. He concluded that the low measured surviving defect fraction at low energies could be associated with ionization-induced migration and recombination of point defects.…”

Irradiation-induced amorphization in the zirconium suboxide on Zr-0.5Nb alloys

“…In order to better understand the critical defect concentration at which amorphization occurs, a value of surviving defect fraction is required. Averback [51,52] and Stoller [53] studied point defect production in Al, Cu and Fe at cryogenic temperatures (T≤100K), and based on their results the value of surviving defect fraction can be estimated to be ~30%. By applying this value to our experimental conditions, a critical defect concentration in the h-ZrO can be estimated to be 0.047 at a fluence of ~10 14 ions/cm 2 (0.16dpa), in good agreement with that proposed by Swanson [54] who M A N U S C R I P T…”
