DISLOCATION LOOPS AND HARDENING IN NEUTRON IRRADIATED COPPER
Experiments were undertaken to investigate the nature of dislocation loops in copper and the relation between the loops and the irradiation hardening. Foils of 99.998% copper were irradiated and subsequently electropolished. The distribution of the number of loops as a function of diameter after various neutron doses was determined. It was concluded that the loops -expand by emitting vacancies and must therefore be interstitial in character. Results also suggested that small defects may be responsible for a large part of the hardening. (M.C.G.)
