TEM investigation of helium bubble evolution in tungsten and ZrC-strengthened tungsten at 800 and 1000°C under 40keV He+ irradiation

Helium-induced defect nucleation and accumulation in polycrystalline W and W0.5 wt%ZrC (W0.5ZrC) were studied in-situ using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) combined with 40 keV He+ irradiation at 800 and 1000°С at the maximum damage level of 1 dpa. Radiation-induced dislocation loops were...
