Abstract: Ion beam or electronbeam irradiation will lead to the change of material microstructure. By the use of facilities composed of an electron microscope and ion accelerator(s), the microstructure evolvement in material can be insitu studied during the irradiation and following annealing processes. The facilities have been widely used to study many kinds of materials, e.g. metal, alloy, ceramic materials and semiconductor, in the past twenty years. In this paper the development of the Accelerator and Electron ...
