Abstract
Surface patterns on PAN based сarbon fibers under 3 and 30 keV He+ and 30 keV Ar+ ions irradiation were experimentally studied. It has been found that the depth distributions ν(х) of the number of displacements per atom (dpa) have a strong effect on the surface patterns on PAN-based carbon fibers. For not steady state profiles ν(х), a ridge-like structure oriented along the fibers is formed on the surface. At sufficiently high irradiation fluences with a steady-state profile ν(х), a corrugated structure is formed with corrugations transverse to the fiber axis. The corrugation effect is explained by twinning during plastic deformation of fiber shell crystallites caused by radiation-induced dimensional changes and mechanical stresses.
