Abstract: | After briefly summarising the advantages and drawbacks of bombardment with heavy ions, we describe the experimental apparatus we used for studying swelling in nickel. Next we discuss the problems connected with the determination of the number of atoms displaced during ion-bombardment.We studied the influence of the following parameters on the swelling of nickel: temperature, gas content, fluence, ion energy. Swelling varied with temperature and increases to a maximum at 620°C for 500 keV nickel ions. Prior helium-loading of the samples (10ppm) reduces swelling and the mean void size and increases the number of cavities. Swelling grows linearly with fluence up to 25 displacements per atom. The number and size of voids grows rapidly in the early stages of irradiation.We explain how helium reduces swelling in our experiments, and we determine how far the fluences calculated for ion-bombardments need to be corrected to allow valid comparisons with in-pile results. |
