摘要
Formation of prismatic dislocation loops and evolution of dislocation structure in LiF crystals irradiated with swift U-238 and S-38 ions of specific energy 11 MeV/u at fluences up to 10(13) ions cm(-2) has been investigated using chemical etching and AFM. It has been shown that prismatic dislocations are formed in the stage of track overlapping above threshold fluences Phi approximate to 10(9) U cm(-2) and Phi approximate to. 10(10)S cm(-2). The diameter of dislocation loops reaches 600-1000 nm for U-238 ions and 200 nm for S-36 ions. The dislocations created by U-238 ions are arranged in rows along the direction of ion beam, whereas S-36 ions create freely distributed dislocation loops each of them being oriented along the ion beam. The role of dislocations in ioninduced nanostructuring and hardening is discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
