摘要: Abstract We have investigated the effects of helium ion irradiation energy and sample temperature on performance grain boundaries as sinks in ultrafine grained nanocrystalline tungsten. Irradiations were performed at displacement non-displacement energies temperatures above below that required for vacancy migration. Microstructural investigations using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) combined with either in-situ or ex-situ irradiation. Under an which does not cause atomic displacements tungsten (70 eV), regardless thus migration conditions, bubbles uniformly distributed no preferential bubble formation boundaries. At can displacements, observed to be preferentially formed only high where occurs. these decoration large facetted occurred grains dimensions less than 60 nm. discuss importance supply radiation-induced defects resulting tolerance formation.
