Modeling Irradiation Damage Accumulation in Crystals

  • Chung H. Woo
Chapter

Abstract

Bombardment of crystalline solids by energetic particles produces lattice defects, the accumulation of which is the origin of the macroscopic effects of irradiation damage. In an all-inclusive theory, the defects produced fall into two categories: (1) atomic displacements creating freely migrating vacancies and interstitials and their clusters, both mobile and immobile; and (2) transmutations creating impurity elements, such as helium. The first type of damage is called displacement damage, and is recoverable via the recombination of the vacancies and the interstitials before they disappear into grain boundaries, voids and dislocations, but the second type is not. In the present article, our attention is on the former.
