At temperatures below the onset of vacancy migration, metals exposed to energetic ions develop dynamically fluctuating steady-state microstructures. Statistical properties of these …
We have investigated the effect of surfaces on the statistics of primary radiation damage, comparing defect production in the bcc metals iron (Fe) and tungsten (W). Through …
Understanding and predicting a material's performance in response to high-energy radiation damage, as well as designing future materials to be used in intense radiation environments …
High-energy particle irradiation of low stacking fault energy, face centered cubic (fcc) metals produces significant degradation of mechanical properties, as evidenced in tensile tests …

When a material is irradiated with energetic neutrons or charged particles, a complex sequence of reactions takes place. Structure, composition, and properties are altered over …
The most recent observations of dynamical time-dependent fluctuating behaviour of mesoscopic radiation defects in body-centred cubic metals (Arakawa et al 2006 Phys. Rev …
Executive summary One of the consequences of the interaction of high energy particles (photons, neutrons, ions or electrons) with crystalline materials is the formation of lattice …
