Description
Summary:Consequences of a theory, which is based on a model of ductile extension of a crack in a material, is presented that explains blistering and flaking which appear after high energy ion bombardment. Distinction in mechanisms between blistering and flaking is clarified theoretically. Comparisons between the theory and experiments show very good correlations with respect to blister size. The relation between blister cover thickness and local bubble swelling is given theoretically, explaining the observations made by transmission electron microscopy.
