Atomistic and experimental study of microstructural evolution in nanocrystalline iron subjected to irradiation
Ivan Tolkachev, Daniel R. Mason, Max Boleininger +6
Nanocrystalline materials have been proposed for use in future fusion reactors due to their high grain boundary density that may act as a sink for irradiation-induced defects. We u…
