Ion implantation causes displacement damage in materials, leading to the formation of small dislocation loops and can cause changes to the material’s mechanical properties. Samples of pure Fe were subjected to Fe + implantation at 275°C, producing damage of ∼6dpa to ∼1μmdepth. Nanoindentation into implanted material shows an increase in hardness compared to unimplanted material. Micropillars...
