Voids in irradiated metals. part i.
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic reason for void formation is preferential absorption of interstitials at dislocations, which depends on competition between alternative sinks for diffusing vacancies and inter-stitials.

Nucleation of Voids in Materials Supersaturated with Vacancies and Interstitials
Joseph L. Katz,H. Wiedersich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the rate of homogeneous nucleation of voids in such a material in which interstitials as well as vacancies are supersaturated, and they showed that the thermodynamically derivable void embryo size distribution n 0(x) is in equilibrium with the voids only when the latter are in equilibrium to the same extent as the vacancies.

The effects of large fast-neutron fluences on the structure of stainless steel
J.O. Stiegler,E.E. Bloom +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the changes in microstructure which occur when type 304L stainless steel is irradiated at temperatures between 370 and 472 °C and fast-neutron fluences between 0.8 and 1.4 × 1022n/cm2 have been investigated by electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of void growth in irradiated metals.
TL;DR: In this article, a theory for the size distributions of voids produced in metals by fast-neutron irradiation was developed, which can be interpreted directly in terms of the nucleation rate and the "equivalent" vacancy concentration.

Elevated temperature irradiation hardening in austenitic stainless steel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the nature and magnitude of radiation hardening in an 18-8 type austenitic stainless steel after a high neutron exposure (1.4 × 1022 n/cm2, E > 0.18 MeV) near one-half the absolute melting temperature (532°C).

The effect of helium on regrystallization and grain boundary movement in aluminum
TL;DR: In this paper, a layer of helium-containing material was formed in samples of cold-worked aluminum by cyclotron α-particle irradiation, and this layer was used to observe the effect of helium on subsequent recrystallization and grain growth in the samples.
