Pressureless sintered SiC and graphite SMF-800 were implanted with He＋ions of 20 ke V and 100 ke V at different temperatures and different fluences. The He^＋ irradiation induced microstructure changes were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, atomic force microscopy（AFM）, and transmission electron microscopy（TEM）.展开更多

The diameters of these solid helium bubbles range from1 nm to 8 nm in diameter with the mean bubble size about 3 nm. The selected area electron diffraction（SAED） and fast Fourier transform（FFT） images revealed that solid helium bubbles possess body-centered cubic（bcc） structure with a lattice constant of 0.447 nm. High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy（HAADF-STEM）images further confirmed the existence of helium bubble in tungsten. The present findings provide an atomic level view of the microstructure evolution of helium in the materials, and revealed the existence of solid helium bubbles in materials.展开更多
