Abstract
Cu/Al2O3 bilayer samples were produced by vapor deposition and irradiated successively with 150 keV Ar ions up to a dose of 500 dpa. Ion beam mixing effects were studied by 2 Me V He+ Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). Concentration depth profiles show the mixing of Cu, Al, and O atoms in the sample. Because of the low mixing efficiency found in this study, Al2O3-dispersion strengthened Cu alloys seem to be good candidates as structural materials in fusion reactors.
