“…For GC to be a good candidate for containment, it must be a good diffusion barrier for fission products and its near-surface region structure must remain unchanged so that it retains its properties after In implantation, annealing and even after swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation. Previous work on ion species implanted in GC include Be [18], Cs [19], Sr [20], Co [4] K [21], Na [15], Ti [22], N [23], W [17], Cd [24] but after extensive literature research no study of In implanted in GC has been carried out and no study on SHI irradiation of implanted GC has been previously conducted. The diffusion coefficient calculated in this study after isochronal annealing has been compared to that of beryllium implanted into GC calculated by Koskelo et al [18].…”
