Abstract
In this study, 500 keV He ions were used to irradiate CVD-SiC samples at 800 °C. The influence of doses on the microstructural evolution and hardness of the irradiated samples were investigated by TEM, Raman, and nanoindentation. TEM results show that He bubbles and dislocation loops appeared after irradiation, and their number densities increased with doses, resulting in the gradual decrease of the intensity of the TO peak in Raman spectra. Moreover, He platelets with strain field were observed in both stacking faults and matrixes. Nanoindentation results indicated that the irradiation hardening occurred, and the hardening degree was positively correlated with the irradiation dose.
本研究使用 500 keV He 离子在 800 °C 下辐照 CVD-SiC 样品。通过 TEM、拉曼和纳米压痕研究了剂量对辐照样品微观结构演变和硬度的影响。TEM 结果表明,辐照后出现了 He 气泡和位错环,其数量密度随剂量的增加而增加,导致拉曼光谱中 TO 峰的强度逐渐降低。此外,在堆叠断层和基体中都观察到了带有应变场的 He 小板。纳米压痕结果表明发生了辐照硬化,硬化程度与辐照剂量呈正相关。
