The trapping of ion-implanted deuterium (D) by lattice damage in Fe was investigated in the temperature range 90--500 K. The D depth profile was determined by measuring the proton yield from the /sup 3/He-excited nuclear reaction D(/sup 3/He,p)/sup 4/He, and the D lattice location was obtained by ion channeling. Linear ramping of the temperature produced a sharp detrapping stage at 260 K and a broader release extending over 350--450 K. The release-vs-temperature data were analyzed by solving the diffusion equation with appropriate trapping terms, yielding 0.48 and approx. =0.81 eV for the binding enthalpies associated with the two stages. The 0.48-eV trap corresponds to D at a near-octahedral interstitial site, where it is believed to be associated with a vacancy.
