Irradiation of TiBe12 and CrBe12 with He+ ions and ex-situ transmission electron microscopy to investigate ion damage as a proxy for neutron irradiation damage in nuclear fusion

Jo Sharp, Viacheslav Kuksenko, Ramil Gaisin +4

Ti and Cr beryllides are materials of potential importance as neutron multipliers for tritium breeding in nuclear fusion reactors. The n-to-2n transmutation reaction also produces…
