Abstract
Vacancy concentrations estimated to be as large as 1 at. % have been induced in pure nickel and vanadium foils by bombardment with high‐intensity laser pulses. Annealing bombarded foils at temperatures greater than 0. 3Tm (absolute melting point) allows vacancies to form into aggregates. Examples are shown of voids in nickel and faulted loops in vanadium. Possible mechanisms of vacancy generation are discussed.Keywords
