Microstructural investigation of neutron-irradiated ceramics by high-resolution electron microscopy

  • 1. Tokyo Inst. of Tech. (Japan). Research Lab. for Nuclear Reactors

Description

Microstructure of neutron-irradiated ceramics such as SiC, AlN and Mg-Al spinel was investigated by high-resolution electron microscopy coupled with a multi-slice image simulation. The atomic structures of very small interstitial loops, less than 10 nm in diameter, observed in those ceramics could be determined. The loop structures of multielement covalent or ionic crystals are discussed based on stacking of atomic layers. The relation of microstructure and some macroscopic properties is mentioned. (author)
