Description

The dual-ion beam irradiation facility at JAERI, which allows in-situ observation, was used to investigate the main factors influencing bubble formation in aluminium. Irradiation employed both (1) single ion beam irradiations with H+ and H+2 and (2) simultaneous He+ and H+2 ion irradiations at room temperature. It was found that both vacancy production rate and gas atom injection rate were important in determining the bubble nucleation, number density and sizes. (orig.)
