- Summary:
- Stoichiometric polycrystalline magnesium aluminate spinel has been irradiated at 25 and 650/degree/C with 2.4 MeV Mg/sup plus/ ions to a fluence of 1.4 /times/ 10/sup 21/ ions/m/sup 2/ (/approximately/35 dpa peak damage level). Microindentation hardness measurements and transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements were used to characterize the irradiation effects. The room-temperature hardness of spinel increased by about 5% after irradiation at both temperatures. There was no evidence for amorphization at either irradiation temperature. Interstitial-type dislocations loops lying on /l brace/110/r brace/ and /l brace/111/r brace/ planes with <110> Burgers vectors were observed at intermediate depths (/approximately/1 ..mu..m) along the ion range. The <110>/l brace/111/r brace/ loops are presumably formed from <110>/l brace/111/r brace/ loops as a result of a shear on the anion sublattice. Only about 0.05% of the calculated displacements were visible in the form of loops, which indicates that spinel has a high resistance to aggregate damage accumulation. The peak damage region contained a high density of dislocations tangles. There was no evidence for the formation of voids or vacancy loops. The specimen irradiated at 650/degree/C was denuded of dislocation loops within /approximately/1 ..mu..m of the surface. 25 refs., 16 figs., 5 tabs.
