Description

The authors studied crystalline perfection and He+ ion damage in epitaxial uranium dioxide (UO2) films using a He+ ion backscattering technique. Epitaxial fcc UO2 films were obtained at 3500C on (100) vacuum cleavage faces of rocksalt (NaCl) single crystals. A substantial (100) orientation is found to occur and the film consists of islands connected by rivers. Helium ion channeling studies have been performed using the film exhibiting substantial epitaxy. (Auth.)
