Abstract
Problems of helium diffusion and clustering during irradiation are analysed. Using the “homogeneous” nucleation theory , the effect of damage rate on cavity density is calculated for different gas generation to damage rate ratios. The influence of gas mobility on cavity nucleation has been evaluated.
The calculations have been carried out for aluminium; the results are compared with the experimental results on high-purity aluminium irradiated with 600 MeV protons.
