Abstract—The gold and molybdenum nanofilms were used as a material for sensitive layers of the Hall type magnetic field sensors intended to conducting a long-term magnetic diagnostics of the systems with high radiation loads. An in situ testing of sensors based on the metal nanofilms had been carried out in the fluxes of reactor neutrons. It was shown that the nanofilms electrophysical characteristics remain unchanged up to neutron fluence of ~ 1024 n/m2 at temperature of ~ 130 deg. C. Keywords—nanofilm; neutron irradiation

II. SPECIFICITIES OF THE POLYCRYSTALLINE METAL NANOFILMS USE FOR MAGNETIC FIELD SENSORS For a number of reasons it is rational to use namely polycrystalline nanofilms as the sensing elements in the metal Hall sensors intended for operation in radiation environment. First of all, this caused by necessity to rise an output (Hall) sensor voltage UH that in simplest case can be expressed as [2]:
sensor;
UH = G∙B∙I∙(R/h)
I. INTRODUCTION Metals are characterized by a high resistance against ionizing irradiation, which makes them attractive for application under high radiation loads as the structural and functional materials, in particular for the advanced nuclear energy systems (Generation IV reactors), fusion reactors [1], accelerator and space techniques, where intensive fluxes of the neutrons, electromagnetic quanta and charged particles are present. The rigid safety requirements demand to develop for such complex and expensive facilities not only the radiationresistant constructional and protection elements, but also a lot of the different diagnostic tools. At the same time, a key task is creation of primary transducers (or sensors) whose parameters define in general a workability of corresponding diagnostic systems, and so they should remain stable during whole term of operation under radiation environment.
where G is a parameter defined by sensor topology; I – supply current; B – magnetic induction's component normal to a film surface; R – Hall coefficient for film's material; h – film thickness. For majority of non-magnetic metals | R | ≤ 2×10-10 m3∙A-1∙s-1, which is by several orders of magnitude smaller than in semiconductors (e.g., for InSb R ~ 10-4 m3∙A-1∙s-1). At registration of field B = 0.1 T by a metal sensor with h = 1 mm at G ≈ 1 and I = 50 mA (1) gives UH ~ 1 nV. It is problematic to measure such small signals under radiation environment due to a presence of noises and interferences as well as due to necessity of the long communication lines use. In the transition to nanofilms with h ~ 100 nm the Hall voltage grows up to UH ~ 10 V, which enhances correspondingly a sensor sensitivity to magnetic field that with taking into account (1) looks like follow:
In particular, a pressing issue is development of the stable magnetic field sensors intended for facilities whose operation is based on the using of magnetic field with complicated configuration (the fusion reactors of a “tokamak” and “stellarator” type, the research and medical charged-particles accelerators, the spacecraft’s positioning systems etc.). An effective solution of this task may be the Hall sensors based on metal nanofilms.
The goal of this work is to study the radiation resistance of Hall sensors based on the polycrystalline metal nanofilms in the reactor's neutron fluxes.
In spite of small UН values the metals have a significant advantage over the semiconductors, which lies in a better temperature stability of electrophysical parameters, especially at elevated temperatures T. For example, in Au, Сu, Al, Nb, Mo value of R is actually unchanged at T = (0 ÷ 500)°С [3]. This point is particular important for applications in the systems with the intensive fluxes of neutrons and -quanta where a significant heating of the magnetic diagnostics' frontend components takes place. E.g., in experimental tokamak ITER the magnetic field sensors will operate at T ≈ 100°С (ex-

It is an important that the polycrystalline nanofilms of metals are retain a general trend of R(T) dependence typical for the bulk materials, as it shown, for example, in [7] for Au nanofilms. So, sensors based on the metal nanofilms should have a sufficiently high temperature stability in wide range of T. Moreover, it is expected that a polycrystalline nature of material will assist with increase of a metal nanofilms radiation stability, which is explained as follow. As is well known, the primary radiation damages of solid occur via formation of the interstitial atoms and vacancies. At the same time, one of the main factors for providing of a material's radiation resistance is considered a quick recombination of such defects. But, for majority of materials it is typical a rapid movement of interstitial atoms towards surface, which causes the swelling, whereas the vacancies incline to linger in volume and form the clusters, which obstruct to dislocation motion and accordingly lead to embrittlement of material [8]. However, there are a grain boundaries network in the polycrystals, which detain the interstitial atoms intensifying thereby their recombination with the vacancies, which are located at the distance of some nanometers. Clearly that this process efficiency is more higher in the case when the grains have a nanometer sizes [8]. It is this situation is observed, in particular, for Au nanofilms prepared by the vacuum deposition methods [7, 9], for which a mean grain size in the film thickness range h = (20 ÷ 60) nm is approximately equal to h value.
The initial sensitivity values were S0 ≈ 1.2 mV∙A-1∙T-1 (Au, the electron-beam evaporation), S0 ≈ 1.57 mV∙A-1∙T-1 (Au, the thermal deposition) and S0 ≈ 1.74 mV∙A-1∙T-1 (Mo). On the Fig. 1 it is presented the electron-microscope images (РЕММА-102-02 electron microscope) of the samples based on the Au nanofilm manufactured by electron-beam evaporation method (a) and on the Mo nanofilm (b). On the Fig. 1 (c) and (d) it is presented the corresponding X-ray microanalysis spectra, which testify to an absence of foreign impurity atoms in the samples composition. B. Irradiation A study of sensors radiation resistance in the neutron fluxes was carried out by the means of in situ measurement of their sensitivity S in the function of neutron fluence F. This, from the one hand, allows avoid a necessity to work with materials activated owing to irradiation, and, from other hand, provides an unique opportunity to observe in real time the processes of radiation defects accumulation. Earlier this approach was successfully tested by authors at the study of semiconductorbased sensors [10]. Fig. 2 (a) demonstrates a simplified diagram of experiment. The nanofilm sensors were placed in special fixture, Fig. 2 (b),
III. EXPERIMENT DETAILS A. Samples For manufacturing of the Hall sensors’ sensitive elements it was chosen the 50-nm thickness Au and Mo nanofilms grown on the Al2O3 (sapphire) substrates. The chips dimensions were 1 × 1 mm2. These metals have a sufficiently high melting point (≈ 1064°C and 2623°C respectively) and corrosion resistance, which allows using them at long-term thermal loads.
(a)
The Au nanofilms were manufactured by the vacuum electron-beam evaporation method (University of WisconsinMadison) and by the thermal deposition method (MEPhI). The Mo nanofilms were manufactured by the magnetron sputtering method (MEPhI). Before gold deposition, the 10-nm thickness adhesion layer of titan was deposited onto substrate, whereas the Mo films were sputtered directly onto sapphire. With the help of lift-off lithography it was manufactured the 4-terminal Hall sensors in the form of symmetrical crosses with the sensing element dimensions of 200 × 200 m2. For this topology a numerical factor in (1)-(2) is G ≈ 1 [2]. In addition, onto the sensors terminals the (1.5 ÷ 2) m thickness gold contact pads were deposited by the thermal deposition method, which are intended for a bonding of external leads. After manufacturing the sensors were annealed during 3 h at T ≈ 400°С in the vacuum (~ 10-4 torr), this have been allowed to stabilize their electrophysical parameters.

that is manufactured on the base of thermal and radiationresistant ceramics MACOR® (Corning, USA). The testing magnetic field Bt = 15 mT was created by the 10 mm copper solenoid, Fig. 2 (d), that was installed into the fixture. For the sensors' and solenoid's power supply, the acquisition and primary processing of data, it was developed a special control electronics, which saved intermediate results on the local PC for the further their processing by software and transmission onto remote server. During an experiment the fixture with sensors and solenoid was placed in an irradiation channel of nuclear reactor, the control electronics was located outside a channel at 15-m distance, the local PC was located in a control room at 40-m distance. The measuring system elements were connected by the radiation-resistant cables of “twisted pair” type. The sensors’ supply current was I = 40 mA. The nanofilm sensors were irradiated in the research nuclear reactor IBR-2 (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research), in the channel #3. A neutron flux intensity in sensors location (30 cm from the moderator) was 1.5×1017 n∙m-2∙s-1, which corresponds to a radiation environment forthcoming in fusion reactor DEMO [11]. Fig. 3 demonstrates a neutron flux spectrum for sensors location [12]. A total irradiation time was 1852 h (8 session of IBR-2). A total neutron fluence obtained by sensors was Fm ≈ 1×1024 n∙m-2. During irradiation a samples temperature have reached T = (130 ± 5)°С. C. Sensors Signals Processing One of the main lacks of Hall sensors is a finite voltage value on output (residual voltage or offset) at B = 0. As a consequence, measured signal always is the superposition:
(3)
where U(B) is a sensor output voltage, UH – Hall voltage, U0 = U(B = 0) – offset. For metal sensors U0 >> UH. Correspondingly, it is arises the problem with registration of the small UH signal against the background of the high U0 one, which is complicated by a presence of significant noises and interferences in the measuring system (the own noises of sensor and control electronics, the interferences on long cables etc.) In this connection, for the in situ measurements it was used the spinning-current technique [13] that allows appreciably reduce U0 in (3) up to some level U0*
