T. Muroga et al., FREE DEFECT PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY FOR HEAVY-ION IRRADIATION ESTIMATEDBY LOOP GROWTH MEASUREMENTS, Journal of nuclear materials, 215, 1994, pp. 203-206
The free defect production efficiency, which is the number of freely m
igrating defects divided by the total displacements, has been estimate
d for a Fe-16Cr-45Ni alloy during 4 MeV Cu ion irradiation as a relati
ve Value to that of 1 MeV electron irradiation by application of loop
growth measurements. The bulk loop growth model was verified by examin
ing dependence of the loop growth rate on temperature and damage rate
during electron and ion irradiations. The relative efficiency derived
by sequential electron and ion irradiations was close to that derived
by radiation-induced segregation and radiation-enhanced diffusion.
