Abstract

The ordered intermetallic Ll2 alloy Zr3Al was irradiated with 2 MeV protons at -124 °C to fluences up to 2 × 1015 H+/mm2 and at 250 °C to fluences up to 1 × 1015 H+/mm2. Defects with spherically symmetric strain fields were produced at both irradiation temperatures. They are of interstitial character at -124 °C and vacancy character at 250 °C. Disordering is induced at -124 °C, whereas irradiating at 250 °C initially lowers, then slightly raises, the degree of long-range order above its unirradiated value. Additional defects that appear as black spots were imaged using superlattice reflections in dark field. For the low-temperature irradiations they were seen at all doses, but were present at only the lowest close for the high-temperature irradiations. They are probably disordered zones, although some of the zones may be amorphous at the higher doses in the low-temperature irradiations.
