Figure 4. Atomic-level damage recovery.

Figure 4

HAADF images (ac) and the atomic displacement map (df) of a virgin (a) and pre-damaged sample (S0=0.72) before (b,e) and after (c,f) 21 MeV Ni+ irradiation to 10 ions per nm2. The scale bars on the HAADF images correspond to 1 nm. The vector modulus (df) of the corresponding HAADF images (ac) represents the displacement of each atom from its ideal position. The colour bar represents the vector modulus with a measurement error bar of 0.1 Å.
