B4C and B6Si samples have been irradiated by using swift heavy ions and high intense electron beam. Ion irradiation of the samples was carried at the different electron fluences [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] ion/cm2, and energy of ions flux 167 MeV. Also, the samples were irradiated with high energy electron beams at the linear electronic accelerator at different electron fluencies up to [Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] and energy of electron beams 2.5 MeV and current density of electron beams [Formula: see text]s. The unirradiation and irradiation of the thermodynamic kinetics of samples at low-temperature change with a differential mechanism. In the DSC curves, at the low temperature for unirradiation and irradiation, boron carbide and boron silicide samples do not undergo phase transition. But at the [Formula: see text] K temperature range, the thermodynamic mechanism of ions and electron beam irradiation are very difficult and measuring the temperature of conductivity, thermal conductivity, calibration factor, specific heat capacity becomes more complicated.

ABSTRACTHigh current density electron beam irradiation with a small probe can lead to the production of holes in a variety of inorganic materials. We review some of the experimental observations of the hole formation process and compare these to the predictions of a simple model.

ABSTRACTWe present here experimental results using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and real time video recordings, of the many dynamic structural instabilities in amorphous silica structures during intense electron beam irradiation. It is observed that while the silica layers on oxidized silicon particles sinter when irradiated uniformly, they undergo necking and extensive plastic deformation when the beam is focused in the neck regions. Extremely thin silica fibers (less than five nanometers in diameter and microns in length) can be produced by the deformation of such necks between particles. The thin fibers and the sharp tips developed from the failure of such structures are seen to spheroidize and blunt when exposed to the electron beam. The instabilities are thought to arise from irradiation induced charging of the insulator surface which expands to reduce the density of accumulated surface charges.
