Abstract
The interaction between deuterium and irradiation defects in nickel is studied using the gas-phase permeation technique. Irradiation defects were introduced using 90 keV Ni+ions with fluences of 1014-1017ions cm-2, or 30 keV4He+ions with fluences of 1015-5 × 1016ions cm-2. Permeation results show that crystalline defects such as dislocation loops produce no measurable effect on deuterium permeation in the temperature range 370-570 K. By comparison, helium defects decrease the apparent diffusivity by four to six orders of magnitude, indicating a strong trapping effect for deuterium. These results are discussed using a simple trapping model.
