ABSTRACTThe relationship between growth rate of CrSi2 and dose rate during Xe ion irradiation at 500K is investigated. Dose raies difffering by up to a factor of 40 have been utilized to study the relationship. For a fixed total dose, a lower dose rate results in a thicker silicide layer compound to a higher dose rate. The results are explained from radiation-enhanced diffusion theory.

ABSTRACT The effects of intramuscular injection of synthetic racemic equol (±3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro2H-1-benzopyran-7-ol) into wethers have been examined with respect to maintenance of plasma level, teat growth rate and the activity of the respiratory enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. At a dose rate of 1·03 mmol/day a steady rise in 'total' (free plus conjugated) equol in plasma occurred to 1·78μmol/l in 4 days. A dose rate of 2·07 mmol/day produced only a further slight increase in plasma equol. At a lower dose rate of 0·52 mmol/day the plasma concentration reached 0·62 μmol/l in 2 days and this was not exceeded thereafter. At the dose rate of 1·03 mmol/day over 7 days significant increases in teat length and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity occurred but no significant changes were observed at the dose rate of 0·52 mmol/day. It appears that threshold levels of intake of equol which maintain a plasma level of about 1·65 μmol/l are needed for oestrogenic effects to become apparent within a relatively short time. Administration of 1·03 mmol/day over 5 days to ovariectomized ewes produced significant increases in uterine weight equivalent to those produced by 92 nmol stilboestrol dipropionate. Thus stilboestrol was apparently 56000 times more potent than racemic equol. J. Endocr. (1984) 103, 395–399

AbstractAtom transport under irradiation is determined by the concentration of freely migrating defects, which depends on the dynamical equilibrium between production and annihilation rates. In order to determine effective values of both of these quantities for the case of ion irradiation, spatially resolved self-diffusion measurements were performed on single crystals of nickel which contained several thin tracer layers at different depths.For fixed depth the radiation-enhanced diffusion coefficient (DK) was determined as function of displacement rate (K0) and fluence (Φ). The DK essentially representing the ratio of the rates of production and annihilation was found to be proportional to K0 for 800 K irradiation temperature and to K00.4for Ni and K00.4for Kr irradiation at 950 K. It is independent of Φ for 800 K and decreases with increasing Φ for 950 K.

ABSTRACTWe have continued to investigate ion-beam mixing in bilay-er targets irradiated by 2-MeV He+ microbeams at room temperature. Although we have previously reported a linear dependence of interface width on dose for Cu/Al targets 1, more extensive results have not supported this conclusion, within statistical uncertainty, it appears that the interface width in Cu/Al (1) is proportional to the square root of dose, at constant dose rate, (2) is larger in Al than in Cu, for the same dose, (3) is proportional to the 1/4 power of dose rate, and (4) is absent at liquid nitrogen temperature. Calculations of the expected interface growth rate from a radiation-enhanced diffusion model have provided order-of-magnitude agreement with observed rates. Additionally, intermixing of Cu and Al outside the damaged area may indicate significant transverse diffusion of vacancies.

ABSTRACTAtomic mixing effects of sputter depth-profiles are modeled by a diffusion theory with a depth-dependent diffusion constant D. The model is compared to SIMS depth profiles, using 5 keV Ar+ bombardment of dilute thin-film multilayers of Al, Ag, Ti and Mo in silicon. The experimental values of D can be explained by cascade mixing and radiation enhanced diffusion within the cascade for Al, Ag and Ti markers but not for the Mo marker.

ABSTRACTThe effect of Al ion irradiation on the mobility of Xe gas bubbles in Al thin films was investigated. Transmission electron microscopy was used to determine bubble diffusivities in films irradiated and/or annealed at 673K, 723K and 773K. Irradiation increased bubble diffusivity by a factor of 2–9 over that due to thermal annealing alone. The Arrehnius behavior and dose rate dependence of bubble diffusivity are consistent with a radiation enhanced diffusion phenomenon affecting a volume diffusion mechanism of bubble transport.

ABSTRACTIn ion beam mixing, the subject on the marker evolution of Si/Pt/Si target during 300 keV Xe ion irradiation has been an interesting topic of recent years. A cottputer simulation for this system by using the Monte Carlo code TCIS-4 is reported here. Dynamic target model was employed. Some radiation-enhanced diffusion and relaxation of the displacement cascades were also considered. Results of this simulation study reveal the evolution of Pt marker profile with fluences during bombardment. The shifts of Pt marker and the dispersions evaluated from the profiles agree fairly well with experimental date, demonstrating a reslistic model of the target being irradiated is important.

AbstractIn MgO irradiated at high dose rates and high temperatures with 1.8 MeV electrons, a suppression of the Fe3+ optical absorption band at 290 nm is observed. This suppression, a function of both dose rate and temperature, is consistent with a reduction process induced by oxygen displacement damage. Both thermal and radiation enhanced diffusion are involved and lead to the formation of iron containing precipitates. Similar results have been obtained for Ni2+.

AbstractIon mixing of thin markers in Zr was investigated by irradiating with 660 keV Kr++ ions at temperatures between 300 to 423 K. Very thin films of vacuum evaporated Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu+ Hf, W, and Au served as markers. The samples were analyzed by 2 MeV He backscattering spectrometry. The marker elements that are likely to dissolve interstitially in Zr have higher mixing efficiencies at elevated irradiation temperature than the markers that are likely to dissolve substitutionally. The results are explained by radiation-enhanced diffusion theory.
