Modeling of radiation processes of defect formation in materials irradiated with ions

Abstract

The consumption of materials is growing every day, which means that we will increasingly have to cope with the problems of natural resources and supply. Therefore, humanity is forced to expand its resource base finding ways to use existing raw materials more efficiently, turn previously unusable substances into useful materials and also produce completely new materials from substances that are available in abundance. One of the ways to create new materials is to irradiate a substance with charged ions. The article discusses this technique based on the cascade-probabilistic method, the purpose of which is to obtain as well as the next ensuing use of cascade-probabilistic functions (CPF) considering energy losses for ions. The CPF computations were executed depending on the number of collisions and the depth of surveillance for various incident ions and samples. When computing cascade-probabilistic functions and spatial distributions of vacancy clusters patterns of conduct and finding the real resulting region in gold and silver alloys were obtained. Selection of step and boundaries for calculation were automated. Results of the calculations performed are illustrated in the form of graphs and tables.
