| Abstract: | Abstract The kinetics of radiation defect accumulation and subsequent recovery during/after electron irradiation below 273 K, at 323 K and 373 K were investigated for the Fe-15.7 at.% Cr using positron annihilation measurements at room temperature. Formation of vacancy clusters was observed at all of the irradiation temperatures. The formation of clusters and kinetics of their accumulation point to mobility of vacancies at least at room temperature. The cluster rearrangement and variations in the cluster configuration take place during annealing. |
