Ba. Gurovich et Ke. Prikhodko, Investigation of dose-temperature dependencies of graphite dimensional andlattice parameters changes under electron irradiation, RADIAT EFF, 154(1), 2001, pp. 39-60
Radiation induced graphite dimensional and lattice parameters changes were
studied during electron irradiation in situ in a column of electron microsc
ope. We obtain the dose dependencies of graphite relative dimensional and l
attice parameters changes at temperatures -190, 20, 200, 400, 600 and 950 d
egreesC. The experimental results showed a decrease of displacement thresho
ld energy for carbon atoms in graphite along the base planes with increase
of irradiation temperature. We discuss the features of graphite radiation d
amage at different temperatures.
