Nanophase and coarse-grain titanium films were prepared on Mo substrates by Ion Beam Assisted Deposition. Ion implantation of helium was used to simulate the behavior of helium in titanium films. Helium ions (100 keV) were implanted into the titanium films with a dose of 5 × 10 17/cm 2. The retained...
