Abstract

Fast (14 MeV) neutron damage in titanium monocarbide (TiC 1−x) was examined by measuring low-temperature electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. Both physical properties changed remarkably with neutron damage. The damage process seemed to depend on the nonstoichiometry (the amount of the carbon vacancies), as had been revealed in an “in-situ” resistivity measurement at liquid He temperature. On the other hand, it is of interest that both properties (without damage) are considerably affected by the nonstoichiometry.
