MAX radiation protection for next-generation nuclear power plants, by Jonathon Foreman, Ceramic Tech Today.
“The radiation tolerance of MAX phases is of particular interest to researchers because it makes these materials ideal candidates for use in next-generation nuclear power technologies. Studies that exposed various MAX compositions to low and high doses of high-energy ions found that the collisions result in reorganization of the crystal structure, often completely disrupting long-range order and converting the material to amorphous structures. However, mobility of the atoms within the MAX phases enables recovery of the structure through annealing at moderate temperatures.”
