Investigations of ion irradiation induced surface damage features in zirconium alloys by atomic force microscopy
Continuous Kr ion irradiation at 400 °C with damage level up to 40 dpa was performed in Zircaloy-4 to investigate the surface damage features of α-Zr matrix. Atomic force microscopy confirms that the irradiation induced surface damage is primarily in the form of damaged pits. The increasing Ra value...
