Abstract
Irradiation induced creep (IIC) rates are measured in compression on Ag nanopillar (square) beams in the sink-limited regime. The IIC rate increases linearly with stress at lower stresses, i.e. below ≈2/3 the high temperature yield stress and parabolically with pillar width, L, for L less than ≈300 nm. The data are obtained by combining in situ transmission electron imaging with simultaneous ion irradiation, laser heating, and nanopillar compression. Results in the larger width regime are consistent with prior literature.
