This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Laser Ultrasonic Testing (LUT) and its
applications in composite materials. The working principles of LUT are thoroughly …

Combining spatially resolved x-ray Laue diffraction with atomic-scale simulations, we
observe how ion-irradiated tungsten undergoes a series of nonlinear structural …

Tungsten is a promising candidate material for plasma-facing armour components in future
fusion reactors. A key concern is irradiation-induced degradation of its normally excellent …

A facility for continuously monitoring the thermal and elastic performance of materials under
exposure to ion beam irradiation has been designed and commissioned. By coupling an all …

Thermal switches are of great importance to thermal management in a wide variety of
applications. However, traditional thermal switches suffer from being large and having slow …

The speed-up of radiation science development with the advent of ion-irradiation
experiments has, until recently, been omitted in the post-irradiation examination technique …

Thermal transport in materials used for energy applications is a physical process directly tied
to performance and reliability. As a result, a great deal of effort has been devoted to …

The dynamic interactions of ions with matter drive a host of complex evolution mechanisms,
requiring monitoring on short spatial and temporal scales to gain a full picture of a material …

Direct mesoscale measurements of radiation-induced changes in the mechanical properties
of bulk materials remain difficult to perform. Most widely used characterization techniques …

Knowledge about nonequilibrium dynamics in spin systems is of great importance to both
fundamental science and technological applications. Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) is an …
