Figure 1
(a) Peak profiles of the (10.3) reflections of Zircaloy-2 proton-irradiated to a level of 2.3 dpa at 280, 350 and 450°C. (The smaller noise in the 350°C profile is due to the longer data collection time in the diffraction experiment.) The profiles are normalized to the peak maxima. The green line is the narrow instrumental profile. (b) The same profiles as in (a), normalized to both the peak maxima and the FWHM. (c) One half of the peaks in (b) with the normalized intensities on a logarithmic scale. Note that the background has been subtracted from all the diffraction peaks shown in panels (a), (b) and (c). |
