Abstract
A theory of formation of interstitial loops during irradiation is applied to the nucleation and growth of precipitates in electron-irradiated Cu-0.18 wt% Be alloy. The dependences of density and size of the homogeneously nucleated, radiation-induced precipitates on electron flux and irradiation time are analyzed. The conclusions are that a di-MDI, (mixed dumbbell interstitial) and/or a complex of an impurity and the di-MDI acts as the nucleus of the precipitate, and the precipitates grow as a result of the high mobility of the mixed dumbbell interstitials.
