Description
Conventional as well as high voltage electron microscopy are the key tools for the understanding of irradiation induced phase transitions. Together with the identification of precipitates and of the type of precipitation (homogeneous vs heterogeneous), electron microscopy allows for a quantitative determination of the irradiation conditions which trigger phase changes. Radiation induced precipitation in undersaturated solid solutions is reviewed from the experimental as well as theoretical viewpoint. The irradiation flux is shown to control stability of solid solutions under irradiation
Abstract (French)
La microscopie electronique classique et a haute tension sont les outils de choix pour l'etude des changements de phase sous irradiation. La microscopie electronique permet l'identification des precipites et du type de precipitation (homogene ou heterogene) ainsi que la determination quantitative des conditions d'irradiation pour l'apparition des changements de phases. On passe en revue la precipitation radio-induite dans les solutions solides sous-saturees d'un point de vue experimental et theorique. On montre que le flux d'irradiation determine la stabilite des solutions solides sous irradiationAdditional details
