Significant growth of vacancy-type defects by post-irradiation annealing in neon ion-irradiated tungsten probed by a slow positron beam
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Irradiation damage and its evolution in noble gas ion-irradiated tungsten have not been investigated in detail other than in the case of helium ion irradiation. In this study, irradiation-induced vacancy-type defects in helium ion- and neon ion-irradiated tungsten were investigated by using a slow positron beam, and their annealing behavior in the temperature range of 20∘C-900∘C was compared by characterizing the Doppler broadening of positron annihilation radiation spectra. In helium ion-irradiated tungsten, slight aggregation of irradiation-induced vacancy-type defects was observed upon annealing, but eventually, a large portion of the vacancy clusters was eliminated after annealing at 900∘C. In contrast, in neon ion-irradiated tungsten, irradiation-induced vacancy-type defects were observed to aggregate significantly at 300∘C and 600∘C. In addition, the large vacancy clusters formed by the aggregation survived even after annealing at 900∘C.
