The invention relates to the field of doping of solids by ion irradiation photobrush elements and can be used for ionic modification of structure and physico-mechanical properties of metals, semiconductors and superconductors.

Know sirohey materials specified size and density of precipitates of secondary phases, determine their physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics. A distinctive feature of the ion doping is the possibility of doping of any object (without limitation) elements, including not having a solubility in the material of the object. This fact has contributed to a broad application of the principles of ion modification of the structure in order to control the chemical, physical and mechanical properties.

It is known that for the purpose of modifying the physical-mechanical properties of solids using irradiation of the same object multiple types of ions in various combinations and sequences depending on the purpose of the ionic modification. So, to change the physical properties of semiconductors using sequential irradiation by ions of the inert gas and the corresponding doping ions [1]. The choice of the inert gas ions due to the need to increase only the number of radiation defects in the condition of neutrality of the ion itself to changes in the physical properties of the irradiated semiconductor and the lack of chemical interaction with atoms of the semiconductor, and alloying atoms. I.e., the main drawback in similar ways="ptx2">

It is known that the irradiation with helium ions in combination with irradiation by ions of heavy atoms is used for the simulation of radiation effects, such as radiation-induced swelling of reactor materials arising during their irradiation in a nuclear or thermonuclear reactors [2]. In this case, the presence of helium atoms in small concentrations (10-3at.%) simulates the condition of their accumulation in materials irradiated with neutrons fission channels of nuclear reactions of the type (n), and additional irradiation by ions of heavy atoms simulates accelerated defect formation.

In all of these analogues ions of inert gases are not applied with the aim of solving the problems of the formation and synthesis in solid selections of different phases, which is a major drawback. This is widely used their exposure to relevant fazoobrazovanie elements, i.e., ions of chemically active elements. Basically use the sequential addition of two types of ions photobrush elements capable interacted to form a certain allocation of secondary phases in the irradiated volume of the solid resulting after-radiation high temperature annealing. It is known that in Catal + ions of carbon), nitrides (i.e., exposure to metal ions + nitrogen ions), etc.

Of course, to provide conditions for the formation of the phases of the alloying elements, it is necessary that the concentration exceeded the limit of their solubility in the lattice of irradiated material. In this regard, the fluence of the particles should be large and is at least 1017cm-2that usually used in practice. In addition, nucleation and growth of similar discharge, a relatively high temperature exposure or after-radiation annealing. However, due to the fluctuation mechanism of nucleation of phases from supersaturated solid solution is practically impossible to provide a very important condition for the formation of monodisperse (one dimensional) nanomedicine high bulk density. To resolve this problem, you need some way to solve the problem of separation of the nascent stages of nanomedicine from a stage of their growth.

The main disadvantages of methods used ion doping:
- need a big time exposure for achieving desired radiation dose at rated flow of ions;
- high temperature (>0.5 Tthe Plava) irradiation or after-radiation tigalda dispersion of precipitates in size due to the fluctuation mechanism of simultaneous nucleation and growth;
- inability to provide conditions for the formation of a strictly defined nanometrovogo size and high bulk density allocations;
- the difficulty of obtaining incoherent (with a sharp interfacial boundary) allocations of nanometric size in the crystal lattice of the irradiated object.

The purpose of the proposed method is to increase the efficiency of ion doping and implementation of practical implementation of the conditions of formation and synthesis in solids monodisperse nanomedicine different phases with a high bulk density.

This objective is achieved in that by irradiation with ions of inert gas in the object form a gas nanopores with simultaneous or sequential filling volume ions photobrush elements.

Introduction in the process of ion doping additional irradiation by ions of the inert gas allows the irradiated volume of material nanometric systems gas atoms+jobs", for example in the form of gas nanopores. These gas nanopores are a place of accumulation of the alloying atoms with simultaneous or subsequent exposure of the object ions photobrush elements both in their dynamic range is hnestly nanopores. I.e., the surface of the nanopore is the center of simultaneous nucleation of precipitates, and the volume of the nanopores is submitted for their growth. The size and density of precipitates controlled by parameters of the gas nanopores, which in turn are determined exposure conditions (dose, intensity, temperature). Moreover, extremely high gas pressure in nanopores (hundreds of thousands of atmospheres) may also contribute to the synthesis of new phases at lower temperatures, irradiation or after-radiation annealing.

The most convenient from a practical point of view the implementation of the proposed method are helium atoms. Sources+possess a high level flow of particles, which allows effective for a short time to achieve the required high (1-10 at.%) concentrations of helium atoms in the irradiated volume of the object. Moreover, ions do Not have a large projective pre-owned, which ensures its implementation in the irradiated object at great depths, stimulating the diffusion there photobrush elements.

It is known [3] that helium pores in solids can emerge and grow even at room temperature irradiation. However, they form an ensemble of pores with high (&irout in the irradiated matrix material ordered superlattice nanopores, ensuring the maximum possible bulk density with minimum size.

In our first experiments have shown that the atoms do Not stimulate the redistribution of alloying elements in the lattice of the material [4], initiate the formation of precipitates [5] , contribute to the synthesis phase, such as boron nitride [6], and their accumulation in the form of helium then effectively gettering alloying elements, such as carbon [7]. The last unexpected circumstance at the present time is effectively used for cleaning silicon impurities of transition metals [8].

Thus, the necessary and sufficient complex of reliable experimental evidence stimulated diffusion of impurities and the initiation of nucleation and growth of precipitates of secondary phases in the presence of mobile complexes atom of helium + vacancy" and their clusters in helium nanopores. These circumstances provide a solid basis to argue about the possible practical implementation of the proposed method for the rapid and controlled process of phase formation in ion-irradiated materials in the presence of gas-filled nanopores. The use of effective Hutterites), does not require the execution of one of the conditions of phase formation - the creation of a supersaturated solid solution. So to fill the volume of helium nanopores (the volume of which does not exceed 0,01-0,1%) required a significantly lower concentration of alloying elements. This requires a correspondingly smaller amount of alloying elements in the material volume and, consequently, smaller fluence of particles, i.e. less time exposure.

For example, to fill gazoobraznymi element of the volume of the gas nanopores with a diameter of 1nm and a density of 1017cm-3in the irradiated volume of the object in the order of 10-5cm-3should the irradiation ions gazoobraznogo element to a fluence of about 31013cm-2. This is three to four orders of magnitude smaller than in the case of irradiation of the object ions photobrush elements in the absence of gas nanopores.

In Fig.1 shows the results of Auger analysis of the elemental composition of the surface intercrystalline fracture type steel 18CR10NITI, alloy helium and subjected to after-radiation annealing. It is seen that with increasing temperature after-radiation annealing increases the concentration of alloying elements at the grain boundaries, which is the predominant runoff on what I stimulated the mobility of the alloying elements. At a higher temperature annealing stainless steel (on a background of reverse diffusion of impurities in the matrix grain) celebrated the fact stabilize the grain boundaries of high concentrations of boron and nitrogen, apparently, in the form of boron nitride synthesized in helium pores.

In Fig.2 shows the predominant formation of precipitates of secondary phases in the area of the sample (b) type steel IN doped helium. In non-irradiated areas of the same sample (a) and plot (), which includes only radiation defects, similar discharge does not occur. This result directly indicates the effect of stimulation of the formation of secondary phases in the presence of helium nanopores.

In Fig. 3 shows an example image of helium nanopores filled carbon atoms, carbon steel, alloy helium and subjected to after-radiation annealing, indicating heteronomy ability helium nanopores.

In Fig. 4 shows an example of nucleation and growth of the carbide phase in helium pores in carbon steel, alloy helium, showing the ability of helium then to serve as the center of nucleation of new phases.

Thus, the above rezultata, about heteronomy ability helium nanopores and the preferential nucleation on them secondary phases. In addition, there is reason to believe about the possibility of synthesizing new phase in helium nanopores in conditions of high gas pressure in them.

The size, density and distribution of gas nanopores in the irradiated volume of the object are set and controlled parameters of irradiation with ions of inert gases (flow of ions and irradiation dose), and temperature exposure or after-radiation annealing.

Technically, the procedure of formation of a given size, dispersion and density of precipitates of secondary phases in the irradiated volume of the object can be carried out with the following combination of irradiation and thermal effects:
- simultaneous irradiation by ions of the inert gas ions and photobrush elements (temperature conditions are selected either during exposure or after);
preliminary irradiation by ions of the inert gas to form a set of parameters of the gas nanopores in the irradiation process, and the after-radiation annealing and subsequent ion irradiation photobrush elements (temperature conditions of formation of secondary discharge feet to be implemented in any industrial ion source. Especially good for this is the source of multiply charged ions of type ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) capable of forming in one beam all the necessary ions with the same pulse with the specified relative intensities.

The method is most effective when the ionic modification of structure and properties of solids, such as hardening of metals and alloys, the formation of secretions from the quantum size in semiconductors and the creation of pinning centers in superconducting materials.

The proposed method provides in comparison with existing methods the following benefits:
controlled and reproducible formation of precipitates of secondary phases with a given dispersion, size and density, because they are controlled by similar parameters of gas porosity;
- significant decrease in fluence of ions photobrush elements, i.e., reducing the time of exposure;
- reduction of temperature exposure or after-radiation annealing by providing the radiation-stimulated diffusion photobrush elements;
- the possibility of the formation of nanoscale decoherent the R. S. Nelson. Improvements in or relating to semiconductors and methods of doping semiconductors. Patent UK 1 269 359, 1968.
