Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

Proposed fusion and advanced (Generation IV) fission energy systems require high-
performance materials capable of satisfactory operation up to neutron damage levels …

In this Article, I review the development of computer simulation techniques for studying
radiation effects in materials from 1946 until 2018. These developments were often closely …

During the past half-century, the nuclear fuel cycle has generated approximately 1400 metric
tons of plutonium and substantial quantities of the “minor” actinides, such as Np, Am, and …

Silicon carbide has enjoyed both fundamental study and practical application since the early
days of nuclear materials science. In the past decade, with the increased interest in …

Irradiation of materials with particles that are sufficiently energetic to create atomic
displacements can induce significant microstructural alteration, ranging from crystalline-to …

The current status of ion beam processing of GaN is reviewed. In particular, we discuss the
following aspects of ion implantation into GaN:(i) damage build-up and amorphization,(ii) …

The widespread distribution of zircon in the continental crust, its tendency to concentrate
trace elements, particularly lanthanides and actinides, its use in age-dating, and its …
