Title: Temperature-Dependent Helium Ion-Beam Mixing in an Amorphous SiOC/Crystalline Fe Composite

Abstract

Temperature dependent He-irradiation-induced ion-beam mixing between amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and crystalline Fe was examined with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and via Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). The Fe marker layer (7.2 ± 0.8 nm) was placed in between two amorphous SiOC layers (200 nm). The amount of ion-beam mixing after 298, 473, 673, 873, and 1073 K irradiation was investigated. Both TEM and RBS results showed no ion-beam mixing between Fe and SiOC after 473 and 673 K irradiation and a very trivial amount of ion-beam mixing (~2 nm) after 298 K irradiation. At irradiation temperatures higher than 873 K, the Fe marker layer broke down and RBS could no longer be used to quantitatively examine the amount of ion mixing. The results indicate that the Fe/SiOC nanocomposite is thermally stable and tends to demix in the temperature range from 473 to 673 K. For application of this composite structure at temperatures of 873 K or higher, layer stability is a key consideration.

Resistance to Helium Bubble Formation in Amorphous SiOC/Crystalline Fe Nanocomposite

Journal Article Su, Qing ; Wang, Tianyao ; Gigax, Jonathan ; ... - Materials

The management of radiation defects and insoluble He atoms represent key challenges for structural materials in existing fission reactors and advanced reactor systems. To examine how crystalline/amorphous interface, together with the amorphous constituents affects radiation tolerance and He management, we studied helium bubble formation in helium ion implanted amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and crystalline Fe composites by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The SiOC/Fe composites were grown via magnetron sputtering with controlled length scale on a surface oxidized Si (100) substrate. These composites were subjected to 50 keV He+ implantation with ion doses chosen to produce a 5 at% peak Hemore »« less

This study investigates the microstructural evolution and mechanical response of sputter-deposited amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC)/crystalline Fe nanolaminates, a single layer SiOC film, and a single layer Fe film subjected to ion implantation at room temperature to obtain a maximum He concentration of 5 at. %. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicated no evidence of implantation-induced phase transformation or layer breakdown in the nanolaminates. Implantation resulted in the formation of He bubbles and an increase in the average size of the Fe grains in the individual Fe layers of the nanolaminates and the single layer Fe film, but the bubblemore »« less

Dose dependence of radiation damage in nano-structured amorphous SiOC/crystalline Fe composite

Journal Article Su, Qing ; Price, Lloyd ; Shao, Lin ; ... - Materials Research Letters

Here, through examination of radiation tolerance properties of amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and crystalline Fe composite to averaged damage levels, from approximately 8 to 30 displacements per atom (dpa), we demonstrated that the Fe/SiOC interface and the Fe/amorphous Fe_xSi_yO_z interface act as efficient defect sinks and promote the recombination of vacancies and interstitials. For thick Fe/SiOC multilayers, a clear Fe/SiOC interface remained and no irradiation-induced mixing was observed even after 32 dpa. For thin Fe/SiOC multilayers, an amorphous Fe_xSi_yO_z intermixed layer was observed to form at 8 dpa, but no further layer growth was observed for higher dpa levels.

Novel amorphous SiOC dispersion-strengthened austenitic steels.

Journal Article Yan, Xueliang ; Wang, Fei ; Hattar, Khalid Mikhiel ; ... - Materialia

Here, a novel amorphous silicon oxycarbide dispersion-strengthened (SiOC-DS) austenitic steel has been fabricated via a powder metallurgy process. The microstructure of dispersion particles has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), revealing that amorphous SiOC nanoparticles with an average particle size of 30 nm were homogeneously distributed in the austenite grains with a sub-micrometer grain size. The high strength and hardness of SiOC-DS may be attributed to grain boundary strengthening, as well as dispersion strengthening via dislocation–particle interactions that were revealed by TEM investigations. In situ ion irradiation experiments showed that amorphous SiOC particles weremore »« less

Radiation Tolerance in Nano-Structured Crystalline Fe(Cr)/Amorphous SiOC Composite

Journal Article Su, Qing ; Wang, Tianyao ; Shao, Lin ; ... - Crystals

The management of irradiation defects is one of key challenges for structural materials in current and future reactor systems. To develop radiation tolerant alloys for service in extreme irradiation environments, the Fe self-ion radiation response of nanocomposites composed of amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and crystalline Fe(Cr) were examined at 10, 20, and 50 displacements per atom damage levels. Grain growth in width direction was observed to increase with increasing irradiation dose in both Fe(Cr) films and Fe(Cr) layers in the nanocomposite after irradiation at room temperature. However, compared to the Fe(Cr) film, the Fe(Cr) layers in the nanocomposite exhibited ~50%more »« less
