Abstract
Thermal desorption of deuterium(D) from 8-keV D-ion irradiated berylli um(Be) above room temperature was correlated with microstructural chan ges during irradiation and annealing to understand the underlying mech anism of retention and trapping of D. D bubbles are formed at all exam ined temperatures between 300K and 873K. Large roundish bubbles above 200nm are especially formed above 573K. They remain even after anneali ng up to 973K. Strong retention of D by the bubbles occurs for the irr adiation up to 673K.
