Abstract

Investigations of the nature of defects in neutron-irradiated intermetallic U3Si2 as a function of dose have been carried out. Defect categories of vacancies and interstitials, their clusters and dislocation loops have been considered. The effects of the displacement field from each on the neutron scattering intensity profiles are presented. The theoretical predictions are compared with experimentally determined intensity profiles from time-of-flight data using the General Purpose Powder Diffractometer at the Intense Pulse Neutron Source of Argonne National Laboratory. The results are illustrated for a particular peak at various doses and the physical implications discussed.
