Microbeam Analysis of Irradiated Materials: Practical Aspects

Microbeam analysis of irradiated materials: practical aspects.

Among the microanalytical techniques, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is one of the most powerful. Its performances can be used to provide an accurate characterization. In the present article the differences between the EPMA of highly irradiated materials and standard EPMA are highlighted. It focuses on the shielded EPMA specificities. Then, the article presents the difficulties encountered...

Practical Aspects of Alcoholism

to no closing hours, when the yearly convictions for drunkenness touched the 200,000 mark. All the same, it is bad enough. We have a population of well over 100.000 severe alcoholics, and since alcoholism involves the dependents, half a million people at least suffer from its repercussions. One would think that the State, the Profession and the Health Service would do all they could to help. In...

The Motion of Dislocations in Irradiated Materials

The motion of dislocations in irradiated materials has unique features that are not seen in unirradiated materials undergoing plastic deformation. In the present work, we show dislocation dynamics studies that reveal the single and collective aspects of dislocation motion in materials under displacement cascade damage. First, we investigate the dynamics of dislocation interaction with irradiati...
