Critical cavity sizes in dual-ion bombarded 304 SS part I: Experiment

Abstract A multikey computer file system and several algorithms relating measured cavity size distributions, point defect sink strengths and an equation of state for helium atoms in gas bubbles have been used to determine lower bound critical cavity sizes from dual-ion bombardment data for 304 SS. The results are discussed within the framework of the critical cavity size concept for a transition from gas-driven to bias-driven cavity growth.
