He bubble coarsening by migration and coalescence in annealed Pu–Ga alloys

The α-decay of plutonium in Pu–Ga alloys continually generates inert He atoms within the lattice of the Pu–Ga matrix. In naturally aged Pu specimens, those He atoms form into bubbles, He-filled vacancy clusters, with a characteristic size distribution centered near 1.4 nm. Upon annealing, the He bub...
