Direct Observation of Sink-Dependent Defect Evolution in Nanocrystalline Iron under Irradiation

Abstract Crystal defects generated during irradiation can result in severe changes in morphology and an overall degradation of mechanical properties in a given material. Nanomaterials have been proposed as radiation damage tolerant materials, due to the hypothesis that defect density decreases with...
