Here, we investigate the formation and accumulation of irradiation-induced atomic strain in an equiatomic NiFe concentrated solid-solution alloy using both atomistic simulations and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of irradiated samples. Experimentally, the irradiations are performed using 1.5 MeV Ni ions to fluences ranging from 1 × 10¹³ to 1 × 10¹⁴ cm^-2. The irradiation simulations are carried out by overlapping 5 keV Ni recoils cascades up to a total of 300 recoils. An increase of volumetric strain is observed at low dose, which is associated with production of point defects and small clusters. A relaxation of strain occurs at higher doses, when large defect clusters, like dislocation loops, dominate.
