Dynamic behavior of defects in an ultrafine grain of tungsten under continuous 2 keV He+ ion irradiation at 950°C (Video S1 available online in supplementary material): (a), (b) and (c) dislocation loop shuttling between two pinning defects (circled by solid white line) from a fluence of 2.8 × 1019 to 3.2 × 1019 ions.m−2 (further example is shown in Figure 7); (d) and (e) dislocation migration and coalescence (circled by dashed white line) during irradiation from 3.2 × 1019 to 3.6 × 1019 ions.m−2; and (f) a uniform distribution of dislocations with some decorated by bubbles at the end fluence of 3.6 × 1019 ions.m−2.
