| Abstract Scope |
Ion beam implantations are widely performed to understand the effects of radiation-induced displacement damage on nuclear structural materials. Yet, the volume of material that can be investigated is often limited by the maximum energies of accelerator facilities, and it has been shown that mechanical property evaluations experience a strong size effect. The 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory offers a broad energy range of a variety of light- and heavy-ion beams, thereby making it possible to investigate the mechanical properties of high-dose ion beam-irradiated materials. 100 μm thick HT9 samples were implanted at the 88-Inch Cyclotron. Following irradiation, tensile tests were performed, providing a comparison of the mechanical properties to unirradiated standards. This experiment has demonstrated the capability of the 88-Inch Cyclotron to perform future deep ion implantation studies for nuclear structural materials at depths beyond what is typically available. |
