Abstract

Defect clusters in Al during electron and ion irradiation have been investigated using highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). An ION/HVEM system which consists of a high-voltage TEM and ion implanters was used for in-situ observation of damage evolution under 1000 keV electrons and 15 keV He+ irradiation at room temperature. HRTEM of Al in [110] orientation showed many planar defects along { 111 } planes during electron irradiation, while a high density of small polyhedron-shaped cavities (He-bubbles) was observed in addition to the planar defects after He+ irradiation. Multi-slice image simulation of various models of dislocation loops indicated the planar defect as an interstitial-type Frank loop.
