Based on the RBMK-1500 (rus.: peaктop бoльшoй мoщнocти кaнaльный, PБMК; reaktor bolshoy moshchnosti kanalnyy, “high-power channel-type reactor”) reactor irradiation conditions, ion implantation was used as a tool to study neutron induced morphological changes in both highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and nuclear grade RBMK graphite. Graphite samples were implanted with 180 keV ¹⁴N⁺ ions at the fluences of 1.0 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm⁻² and 2.5 × 10¹⁶ ions/cm⁻². To study temperature effects on both ion migration and structural disorder level in the graphite matrix, the implantation procedures were carried out under different temperature conditions – room temperature (RT) and 500 °C. Subsequently, the distribution profiles of the implanted ¹⁴N⁺ ions were obtained by using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) technique, while the microstructural properties of the graphite were evaluated by Raman spectroscopy. Implantation induced primary displacement damage profiles and implanted ion profiles were evaluated theoretically by using GEANT4 10.6 and SRIM-2013 codes. The profiles of implanted nitrogen obtained by SIMS technique were found to be in good agreement with theoretical ones. The surfaces of HOPG samples displayed macroscopic damage in form of fractures after ¹⁴N⁺ ion implantation at 500 °C; however, in case of RBMK graphite, the sample surfaces remained without visually observable changes. The Raman spectra showed an increase of sp³-related content and formation of amorphous carbon in both HOPG and RBMK graphite samples; the latter exhibits higher structural disorder at microscopic level and stronger amorphization than HOPG.
