Elastic energy scattering in the radiation damaged solids. Study guide

The physical foundations and original studies results on elastic energy scattering processes in irradiated solids are presented. The study guide can be useful both at material radiation-thermal treatment technologies implementation and application of the internal friction method for solids structural-phase state nondestructive analysis. The book consists of the Introduction and 6 chapters: (1) General information about the internal friction method; (2) Microscopic theory of the internal friction; (3) Experimental devices and the internal friction determination methodic in the solids; (4) Internal friction in irradiated metals and alloys; (5) Internal friction in composite materials irradiated by electrons; (6) Spectroscopic aspects of the internal friction method. The book is intended for students, postgraduates, engineers and researchers specializing in the solid state physics and radiation materials testing
