Abstract:
The method of field ion microscopy was used to study the submicrocrystalline structure of the surface of PdCuAg solid solutions obtained after irradiation with Ar$^+$ ions. It was shown that there are radiationinduced structural phase transitions in the subsurface volume of solid solutions irradiated by gas ions with an energy of 20 keV and a fluence of 10$^{18}$ ion/cm$^2$. The regimes were determined of radiation treatment of structural alloys Pd50Cu30Ag20 in which a microduplex-type structure with the phases' particle sizes being up to 100 nm with the necessary set of properties arises in the subsurface volume.
