The behavior of ion-implanted deuterium in advanced lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) pellets with addition of lithium metatitanate (Li2TiO3), and in reference Li4SiO4 pellets, has been studied. Thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) was used to examine the deuterium interaction with radiation defects in materials. Deuterium gas release from studied ceramics has revealed a clear dependence of deuterium trapping behavior on phase composition. The trap strength of radiation defects formed in lithium titanate was found to be higher than in lithium orthosilicate.
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.
