Abstract

Radiation damage mechanisms in oxide ceramics are briefly discussed for irradiation by electrons, ions and neutrons. The effects of electron, ion and neutron irradiation on the evolution of the damage microstructure of MgO, A12O3 and MgAl2O4 are followed in detail. Particular attention is paid to differences in the microstructure produced by ions of varying mass and energy. The effects of damage microstructure on other properties are indicated.
