Recovery of Deuteron-Irradiated Gold, Aluminum, and Platinum

Radiation Damage in Metals

“…Furthermore, defect retention increases because clustering of interstitials is becoming more probable. Cold-working and alloying will also increase defect retention during Stage I annealing [137]. Stage II recovery is mainly due to dissociation and rearrangement of impurity-interstitial complexes.…”

In Situ Field Ion Microscope Study of Irradiated Platinum. I. Stage I Recovery Behavior.

“…The (12) same effect of quenched-in vacancies was simultaneously observed in deuteron (20 MeV) irradiated platinum by Herschbach and Jackson Recently, Dib- (13) bert et al have presented a systematic and detailed study of the effects (2) of electron dose, gold impurity atoms, radiation doping and initial electron energy on the recovery behavior of electron irradiated platinum which gives further indirect evidence that IE is due to uncorrelated long range migration of a SIA. ' We present in this paper direct visual evidence obtained from a series of in-situ field ion microscope (FIM) experiments which demonstrate that SIA's undergo uncorrelated long range migration in IE of platinum.…”

The study of lattice defects by channelling

“…Also shown in the figure are annealing results for irradiated A1 alloys, using a variety of experimental techniques which demonstrate that self-interstitials are mobile at 35-50 K in A1 (see also figure 14). In this temperature range, the electrical resistivity increment caused by deuteron irradiation of pure A1 decreased markedly (Herschbach and Jackson 1967), an interstitial 57Fe Mossbauer line appeared in neutron-irradiated A1-0.002 at% CO (Manse1 et a1 19781, and several internal friction peaks appeared in electron-irradiated A1-0.04 at% Fe (Rehn er a1 1978). Only the mobility of self-interstitials from 35-50 K can explain these results.…”
