Effects of chemical alternation on damage accumulation in concentrated solid-solution alloys

Abstract Single-phase concentrated solid-solution alloys (SP-CSAs) have recently gained unprecedented attention due to their promising properties. To understand effects of alloying elements on irradiation-induced defect production, recombination and evolution, an integrated study of ion irradiation,...
