    Abstract

    Ion tracks in amorphous Fe 80B 20, produced by irradiation with 11.1 MeV/u Au ions, were characterized using synchrotron based small angle X-ray scattering. The tracks resemble long cylindrical structures with a radius of 8.2 ± 0.1 nm. Annealing experiments reveal an activation energy for track recovery E a = 0.39 ± 0.10 eV. Wide angle X-ray scattering measurements of irradiated and unirradiated amorphous Fe 80B 20 samples indicate enhanced recrystallization for the irradiated material.
