Effects of Nuclear Radiations on the Mechanical Properties of Solids

摘要: The general nature of radiation effects in solids is reviewed briefly. Current theoretical understanding the mechanical properties critically evaluated. effect nuclear on discussed detail. It shown that changes crystalline substances (mostly metals) can be quite satisfactorily interpreted basis production interstitial atoms and vacant lattice sites by fast particle irradiation. Isolated vacancies interstitials may not able to account for all observations, attention called possible need postulating existence aggregates these defects. In molecular high polymers) radiations bring about substance which are best described as chemical ones. Ions free radicals formed leading subsequent reactions thereby altering substance. Drastic of...
