“…U p until the mid-l980s, most published TEM studies reported a "nearly linear" increase of the defect cluster density with fluence for copper irradiated near or above room temperature [17,27,28], although a few notable TEM studies reported square root accumulation kinetics [23,24]. Sublinear behavior was reported in several studies at doses above -10p4-10-3dpa, but was attributed to defect cluster overlap effects [l 1,17,27,33,44].…”
