Absolute radiation tolerance of amorphous alumina coatings at room temperature

High versus low energy ion irradiation impact on functional properties of PLD-grown alumina coatings

“…Considerations described above focus on comparing nanoindentation studies conducted for two energies (250 keV and 1.2 MeV). Regarding the overall influence of room temperature ion irradiation on the performance of PLD-grown alumina, this was the subject of another work [25]. In the paper, attempts were made to answer why the coating hardness reduction is observed after ion irradiation.…”

“…For this purpose, we analyzed the data collected from works [16,25] where thin films deposited on 316L SS via the PLD technique were ion irradiated at room temperature with 250 keV and 1.2 MeV Au + ions up to the dose of 25 dpa. Afterward, post-irradiation mechanical characterization of the samples was performed via the nanoindentation technique.…”

Mechanical behavior of ion-irradiated ODS RAF steels strengthened with different types of refractory oxides

“…Ion irradiation is a fast and precise methodology that safely simulates the effects of neutron radiation on materials [17][18][19]. This methodology provides achieving high damage levels in a short time and the possibility of precise temperature and damage rate control (contrary to neutron radiation).…”

Dynamical Pathways for the Interaction of O2, H2O, CH4, and CO2 with α‐Alumina Surfaces: Density‐Functional Tight‐Binding Calculations

“…α-alumina, that is, corundum, is one of the most widely used ceramic materials due to its excellent properties, such as high chemical stability, high thermal resistance, and high electrical resistance, and is considered to be an excellent adsorbent, with primary examples being radiation, high temperature, and corrosion. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The interface reactions of oxide/molecules dominate in many fields, such as lubricants, [7,8] electronic industries, [9] automobile engines, [10,11] and other transportation systems. [12,13] This material is utilized as an adsorbent, catalyst, and catalyst support in several environmentally important.…”
