Increase in elastic anisotropy of single crystal tungsten upon He-ion implantation measured with laser-generated surface acoustic waves

We report the experimental observation of an increase in the elastic anisotropy of tungsten upon He-ion implantation, probed optically using transient grating spectroscopy. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) velocity measurements were performed on a (110) oriented tungsten single crystal as a function of i...
