Detection of point defects upon ion irradiation by means of precipitate coherency

Plastic relaxation and solute segregation to β-Nb second phase particles in Zr-Nb alloys: A discrete dislocation plasticity study

“…The study was subsequently expanded into a model [20,21] in which the loss of coherency was due to dislocation loops that can only be nucleated by something other than the misfit stress of the interface, namely irradiation. The loss of coherency of precipitates was confirmed by a later study on the same material [22], and reported in other cases as well, e.g. θ plates in Al-4% Cu alloys [23].…”

Thermal stability and sputtering resistance under irradiation of yttria dispersed ferrum films

“…200 keV xenon ion irradiation was done on the samples with a LC-4 ion implanter after annealing [8][9]. The implantation dose was 1×10 16 ions/cm 2 at room temperature.…”

Effect of Xe ion irradiation on photocatalytic performance of oblique TiO2 nanowire arrays

“…However, few of studies were focused on ion irradiation [6,7]. It is conventionally investigated how to reduce irradiation damages such as swelling, embrittlement and defect when it comes to the irradiation effect of high energy particles and the interaction between high energy particles and other materials [8,9]. However, irradiation could also be helpful on condition that the mechanism of irradiation could be figured out.…”
