“…12 This finding also agrees with the recent studies that show the bulk melting temperature is not a suitable criterion for detecting the melting onset. 54,55 The temperature drop in Fig. 4a results from the energy absorption due to liquid/solid interface formation in the fast cooling regime, i.e., the temperature is constant at the melting point for the slow heating scenario, which does not apply to the SHI irradiation.…”

“…Boron-based materials, such as boron carbide (B 4 C), are widely used in a number of applications, such as nuclear technology, solar energy, electronics, engineering and refractory application because of their excellent properties [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. These properties include high melting point, thermal stability, exceptional abrasion, high hardness, low density and high thermal neutron absorption cross-section [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. B 4 C-based composites are also used as thermoelectric materials, which allows the transformation of thermal energy especially at high temperatures to electrical energy [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…Studies focusing on B 4 C have generally explained the amorphization mechanism due to gamma irradiation, the change in the distance between atoms, displacement of space planes and the ratio of lattice parameters [ 28 , 29 ]. A few studies have investigated the microstructural changes of B 4 C influenced by swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation and the formation of pinholes [ 5 , 30 , 31 ]. In this paper, we emphasized the properties of B 4 C as a potential candidate for fusion-type reactor material [ 32 ].…”
