Abstract

An Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM) investigation of polycrystalline TiB2 implanted with 1 MeV Ni+ to 1 × 1021 ions/m2 has shown that the implanted region remained crystalline and showed no evidence of precipitation. A region containing tangled dislocations extended from the implanted surface to ∼500 nm. Between ∼500 and 750 nm, the microstructure was more complicated and could be indicative of a high density of 5 to 10 nm diam defects. The maximum nickel concentration determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) occurred at ∼450 nm, slightly deeper than the calculated depth of 390 nm. Observations after in situ annealing revealed cavities and nickel-rich precipitates. Radiation damage models are invoked to explain the microstructures observed.
