Abstract
AbstractAn approach is suggested for using pulsed irradiation experiments to study attributes of the transient sink formed by cascade producing radiation. As an example, a simple model of radiation enhanced diffusion is proposed for a dual ion beam irradiation in which one of the beams is a pulsed, sink-producing heavy ion. It is demonstrated that by combining this model with diffusivity measurements evaluated as a function of the irradiation pulse wavelength, it is possible to quantitatively determine the transient sink strength and its characteristic lifetime.
