摘要

Changes in electrical resistivity induced by irradiation with energetic electrons were measured for Fe-50 at.%Rh alloy as a function of electron energy in the range from 0.5 to 2.0 MeV. The irradiation was carried out below 20K and the resistivity was measured at 10K. The electron energy dependence of the resistivity change rate was analysed by using a simple displacement theory, and the average threshold energies for atomic displacements, E(d), were determined as 30 eV for Fe and 45 eV for Rh. The analysis also revealed that resistivity values for Frenkel pairs, rho(F) (in units of mu Omega cm per at.%) were 128 and 181 for Fe atom and Rh atom, respectively. The experimentally determined values of E(d) and rho(F) can be used for the quantitative estimate of defect concentration in Fe-50 at.%Rh irradiated with energetic particles.
