Abstract: | The distribution of vacancy defects in the surface layers of α-Fe after irradiation with a high-current pulsed electron beam is studied experimentally by unique nuclear-physical methods — low-energy positron annihilation, Rutherford backscattering (RBS), and proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE). Regions with low local density, which are sources of crater formation on the surface of the irradiated sample, are observed by scanning a proton microbeam. Positron lifetime measurements reveal that as the electron beam power increases, nonequilibrium vacancies tend to be captured by carbon impurity atoms. Pis’ma Zh. éksp. Teor.
