Characteristic radiation damages (rod‐like defects) are generated under irradiation of Si and Ge in a HVEM at elevated temperatures (400 to 700°C). The microstructures of the defects extended in 〈110〉 direction can be analysed in their cross‐section in (110)‐oriented samples in a HREM. The electron microscopical images show that in most of the cases the defects lie on {001} and {113} planes, and the displacement vector of {001} defects amounts to R ≈︁ 0.25a〈001〉 and for {113} defects it is R ≈︁ 0.25a〈116〉. The atomic configurations of the defects are compared with various structure models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
