We have studied the effects of helium incorporation on trap-sites of h
ydrogen in high-purity stainless steel SUS316L, We implanted 10 and 30
keV He ions into high-purity SUS316L samples with several doses rangi
ng from 3 x 10(15) to 1 x 10(17)/cm(2) and then 30 keV hydrogen ions w
ith a dose of 1 x 10(17)/cm(2) at a temperature of 300 K, and then obs
erved depth profiles and thermal behavior of hydrogen in the samples b
y means of the elastic recoil detection (ERD) method. It was found tha
t hydrogen implanted into the high-purity SUS316L is chemically absorb
ed in helium cavities. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
