Tóm tắt

Ferrum of BCC crystal structure is a typical kind of matrix in structural alloy steels which could be strengthened by introducing some second phase. In the present study, BCC Fe thin films with hafnium oxide (HfO2) second phase have been synthesized in an electron beam evaporation system. Multi-layered and glancing angle deposition (GLAD) techniques were taken to form some HfO2 second phase in Fe films. Ion irradiation was conducted to investigate the irradiation resistance of the obtained samples with and without HfO2 second phase.
