Description

The growth of helium bubbles and the formation of blisters during 5 keV He+ irradiation has been investigated for nickel and for the amorphous alloy Metglass 2826MB (Fe40Ni38Mo4B18) in the temperature range 200 K-600 K. Data on gas bubble growth for nickel can be interpreted in the framework of the loop punching model. A model for the growth of gas bubbles and the formation of blisters for amorphous alloys is presented. The model is based on the enhanced attraction of positive excess volume and helium by the overpressurized bubble. Similarities and differences of gas bubble formation and blistering for crystalline and amorphous alloys are discussed. (orig./TW)
