Irradiation Induced Microstructure Evolution in Nanostructured Materials: A Review

Irradiation Induced Microstructure Evolution in Nanostructured Materials: A Review

Nanostructured (NS) materials may have different irradiation resistance from their coarse-grained (CG) counterparts. In this review, we focus on the effect of grain boundaries (GBs)/interfaces on irradiation induced microstructure evolution and the irradiation tolerance of NS materials under irradiation. The features of void denuded zones (VDZs) and the unusual behavior of void formation near G...

Microstructure Evolution during Tensile Deformation of a Nanostructured Bainitic Steel

In situ neutron diffraction experiment was used during tensile testing at room temperature to examine the changes on the percentage and texture of both ferrite and austenite in a nanocrystalline bainitic steels transformed at two different temperatures 200°C and 300oC for different times to achieve the same phase percentages. Both samples showed an inadequate capability of austenite to transfor...

Thermal Transport in Nanostructured Materials

A detailed understanding of thermal transport at the nanoscale is becoming increasingly needed. This need is largely being driven by two distinct technological challenges. First, continuous miniaturization of electronic devices and the ever-increasing density of the components on integrated circuits (ICs) place ever-increasing thermal loads on systems. Indeed, it is now necessary to make therma...

Functional Nanostructured Molecular Materials

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2001 here has been tremendous recent interest in the design and assembly of porous nanostructured materials.1 Synthetic approaches range from coordination-polymer formation to surfactant-templated alumino-silicate growth to semiconductor nanoparticle aggregation, while functions include chemical catalysis, chemical sensing, energy storage, and energy...
