Vi. Bendikov et al., INFLUENCE OF THE VACUUM ENVIRONMENT ON THE GROWTH OF HELIUM BUBBLES IN NI DURING POSTIMPLANTATION ANNEALING, Vacuum, 49(1), 1998, pp. 1-3
The results from TEM study of helium porosity in nickel samples, irrad
iated to a fluence of 2 x 10(21) He+ m(-2) with 12 keV helium ions, an
d subjected to isothermal annealings for 0.5h at 850, 950, 1050 and 11
50 K, are reported. The experimental evidence for the dependence of he
lium porosity evolution in the implanted layer on vacuum conditions at
which the samples are annealed, is presented. It is shown that on ann
ealing in oil vacuum the temperature of the stage of intensive bubble
growth is 300 K lower as compared with the one on annealing in oil-fre
e vacuum. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
