Ion-Irradiation-Induced Damage in Nuclear Materials Case Study of a-SiO₂ and MgO

Ion-Irradiation-Induced Damage in Nuclear Materials Case Study of a-SiO₂ and MgO / by Diana Bachiller Perea.

This thesis investigates the behavior of two candidate materials (a-SiO₂ and MgO) for applications in fusion (e.g., the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)) and Generation IV fission reactors. Both parts of the thesis – the development of the ionoluminescence technique and the st...
