“…However, due to safety concerns, it is necessary to estimate the parameters of borosilicate glass under residual irradiation. In the past years, many groups have extensively studied the thermodynamic, chemical and mechanics properties of borosilicate glasses and significant experimental effort has been devoted to understand the evaluation of the properties of irradiated borosilicate glasses [16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Yet, these experimental results require detailed interpretation, which could be achieved by correct understanding of the atomic scale processes associated with radiation damage and defects accumulation.…”
