Observation of unique blister-like surface features on amorphous metallic alloys following bombardment with deuterium ions

When investigating the impact of deuterium plasma ions (with energy 300 eV) on mirror specimen fabricated of bulk amorphous alloy Zr(41.2)Ti(13.8)Cu(12.5)Ni(10)Be(22.5) some unusual surface features were observed. Their shape differs from blisters observed on the surface of amorphous foils bombarded...

Description
Summary:When investigating the impact of deuterium plasma ions (with energy 300 eV) on mirror specimen fabricated of bulk amorphous alloy Zr(41.2)Ti(13.8)Cu(12.5)Ni(10)Be(22.5) some unusual surface features were observed. Their shape differs from blisters observed on the surface of amorphous foils bombarded with high energy helium and hydrogen ions (Refs. [9–11]). In this Letter a short description of characteristics of these ‘blister-like’ features are presented.
