Grain size effect on the radiation damage tolerance of cubic zirconia against simultaneous low and high energy heavy ions: Nano triumphs bulk

Abstract Irradiation induced damage in materials is highly detrimental and is a critical issue in several vital science and technology fields, e.g., the nuclear and space industries. While the effect of dimensionality (nano/bulk) of materials on its radiation damage tolerance has been receiving trem...
