Effect of Annealing on Thermal Diffusivity in Ceramics Irradiated by Electrons and Neutrons
Abstract α-Al2O3, AlN, β-Si3N4, and β-SiC ceramic specimens were irradiated by a 30 MeV electron beam up to 0.01 dpa at 80°C, and they started to recover thermal diffusivity with annealing from 300{500°C. In previous studies, similar ceramics were...

Interdisciplinary Project-based Laboratory Works
Abstract Laboratory works are used most of the times just as an illustration to the theoretical issues given at the lectures. They become inherently “small”, addressing just a limited part of the “big picture”. Since real-world phenomena and devices ...
