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 …

Interfaces act as obstacles to slip and sinks for radiation-induced defects. Hence,
nanolayered composites that contain a large volume fraction of interfaces provide over an …

A combination of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and rolling is used to fabricate
nanolamellar Cu–Nb multilayers with individual layer thicknesses (h) of 600μm⩾ h⩾ 10nm …

Sputter-deposited Cu/V nanolayer films with individual layer thickness, h, varying from 1 to
200nm were subjected to helium (He) ion irradiation at room temperature. At a peak dose …

Material performance in extreme radiation environments is central to the design of future
nuclear reactors. Radiation induces significant damage in the form of dislocation loops and …

Stacking-fault tetrahedra are detrimental defects in neutron-or proton-irradiated structural
metals with face-centered cubic structures. Their removal is very challenging and typically …

Interfaces are good traps for implanted He, but are also susceptible to He-induced
embrittlement. Better understanding of the mechanisms of He interactions with interfaces …

Interfaces, such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries, and surfaces, are important in
materials of any microstructural size scale, whether the microstructure is coarse-grained …

Helium (He) exerts a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of irradiated
materials. The microstructural evolutions and hardening mechanisms of pure 1μm thick Cu …
