The influence of interfaces on the formation of bubbles in He-ion-irradiated Cu/Mo nanolayers Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The role of immiscible Cu/Mo interfaces on the formation of helium (He) bubbles in ion-irradiated Cu/Mo 5 nm multilayers is examined. Interfaces significantly enhance the critical He concentration above which bubbles, approximately 1 nm in diameter, are detected via through-focus imaging in a transmission electron microscope. He-to-vacancy ratio affects the formation and distribution of He bubbles. The diameter of He bubbles in Cu appears to be slightly larger than that in Mo. 2011 Taylor & Francis.
