| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Selection, fabrication and deterioration of materials are important factors for mechanical system design. It is necessary to understand conditions under which selected materials are actually used. In particular, special design policies are required for the materials used under irradiation of high-energy particles and radiation. On the other hand, it is possible to intentionally make use of property changes of materials by high-energy particle irradiation. Irradiation of high-energy particles such as accelerated neutrons, ions and electrons deposits very high energies at local regions. Such irradiated regions undergo extreme conditions which cannot be realized by other methods. As a result, the irradiation leads to significant structural and stoichiometric changes in materials. This lecture gives general description of materials irradiation effects, irradiation effects on materials related to nuclear power plants, and academic/industrial applications of materials fabrication/analysis by using high-energy particles. |
