摘要：

Zr/Nb multilayers with periodicities of 10, 30 and 60 nm were prepared by magnetron sputtering and irradiated for prolonged time (1311 h) by gamma-rays with energy of 1.25 MeV and a dose of 510 kGy. A qualitative comparison between XRD patterns acquired before and after irradiation revealed a progressive increase of compressive stress, especially in Nb layers, for smaller periodicities with a consequent increase in hardness measured by nanoindentation. The combination of smaller grain size and radiation-induced defect density distribution, primarily in Nb layers, was found to be responsible for the observed radiation hardening effect.
