Summary

Nanostructured materials exhibit varied irradiation resistance due to grain boundaries. Their high surface area can enhance resistance by defect annihilation, but excess grain boundary energy may reduce it, leading to complex behaviors under irradiation.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nuclear Engineering
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • Nanostructured (NS) materials possess distinct properties compared to coarse-grained (CG) counterparts, particularly concerning their response to irradiation.
  • Grain boundaries (GBs)/interfaces play a critical role in the microstructural evolution and irradiation tolerance of materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of GBs/interfaces on irradiation-induced microstructural changes in NS materials.
  • To analyze the mechanisms governing the irradiation tolerance of NS materials.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of experimental and calculation results.
  • Analysis of void denuded zones (VDZs) and void formation near GBs/interfaces.
  • Investigation of defect interactions with GBs/interfaces.

Main Results:

  • NS materials can show enhanced irradiation resistance due to GBs/interfaces absorbing and annihilating irradiation-produced defects.
  • Conversely, excess GB energy in NS materials can lead to reduced irradiation resistance or amorphization at lower doses.
  • Irradiation-induced grain growth is influenced by temperature, dose, flux, GB character, and nanoprecipitates.

Conclusions:

  • The irradiation tolerance of NS materials is a result of competing effects between defect absorption at GBs and excess GB energy.
  • Understanding these competing mechanisms is crucial for designing radiation-resistant nanostructured materials.
