Nucleation and growth of voids by radiation: V. Role of gas
TL;DR: The role of gas in the nucleation of voids in nickel and copper during irradiation was examined critically with the aid of a model discussed previously as mentioned in this paper, which showed that increasing the gas atom flux results in an increase in the void nucleation rate and a decrease in void size.

TL;DR: In this paper, phase-field simulations are used to study the evolution of gas density within irradiation-induced bubbles in solids, and the steady-state gas densities within bubbles correspond with the ratio of total accumulated vacancy content divided by the total accumulated gas content, in agreement with a thermodynamic analysis concerning free-energy minimization.

TL;DR: In this article, the correlation of charged particle and reactor irradiations is considered with reference to the effect of flux, irradiation temperature, dose, gas and the cascade induced by the primary knock-on atom with the aid of a model described previously.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effects of self-ion and ion bombardment on pure nickel at the 1 dpa level for two widely disparate damage rates, 10 −7 dpa/s for neutron irradiation and 3 X 10 −3 dpa /s for selfion bombardments over a range of temperatures spanning those for void formation.
