Stability of metallic CsCl-structured alloys under ion irradiation Academic Article

abstract

• The ion irradiation stability of the CsCl phases CoAl, IrAl, SiRu, and AuZn has been investigated. Thin-film (500--thick) transmission electron microscopy samples were irradiated with Xe to a maximum dose of 41015 ions/cm2 at room temperature. Irradiation-induced transformations in the compound samples were examined by transmission electron diffraction. The alloys CoAl, IrAl, and AuZn remained crystalline while SiRu became amorphous. Analysis of our findings and other previously reported experimental results indicate that CsCl compound stability under ion irradiation is strongly correlated with atomic mobilities.
