Abstract

Irradiation of materials with energetic particles produces changes in the microstructure that affect mechanical properties. In previous work we studied the thermal aspects of the quenching of collision cascades that involve nanoscale phase transitions between the solid and the liquid states of the target. In this work we present a rigorous treatment of these phenomena, including a detailed description of the Stefan problem in three dimensions and diffusion in thermal gradients. This approach is oriented to give a quantitative description of the influence of the primary knockon spectrum on the microstructure short after the quenching of the heat spike.
