Effects of silver and strontium ions co-implanted into silicon carbide

In modern nuclear reactors safety is improved by cladding the fuel kernel with chemical vapor deposited layers of pyrolytic carbon and silicon carbide. Amid these cladding layers SiC is the primary diffusion barrier of radioactive fission products. During normal operations at about 900 ℃ to 1250 ℃,...
