Impurity Diffusion as a Possible Metal Chronometer for Pre-Detonation Nuclear Forensics

Impurity Diffusion as a Possible Metal Chronometer for Pre-Detonation Nuclear Forensics

The ability to determine the time since forming of seized nuclear material would provide crucial data to be used in its investigation. The time dependent processes of diffusion relevant to this need are examined; to include grain boundary diffusion, and discontinuous precipitation, and an assessment...
