We have analyzed the behavior in vacancy-type defects in each layer through some deposition temperatures and annealing. It is observed that the thin Fe film, the thin Hf film, and the bilayer Fe (50 nm)/Hf (50 nm) already contain many vacancy-type defects. We have investigated the change of densities of the vacancy-carbon complex and the small vacancy-cluster with carbons, through solid-state amorphization of Fe (50 nm)/Hf (50 nm) bilayer.展开更多

The nature of the dislocation loops formed after annealing was studied by the evolution of loops under in situ electron irradiation in high-voltage electron microscope.It indicated that only interstitial-type loops were observed when annealed at 550 °C and below, but vacancy-type loops started to form at the temperature higher than 600 °C. According to the previous study of our group, the presence of chromium element made the formation temperature of vacancy-type loops higher than that in pure iron. The effect of alloying elements on the formation temperature of the vacancy-type loops was discussed.展开更多
