The paper is devoted to the study of radiation-induced damage kinetics in beryllium oxide ceramics under irradiation with low-energy helium ions with fluences of 1015–1018 ion/cm2 . It was revealed that at irradiation fluences above 1017 ion/cm2 , a decrease in radiation-induced damage formation and accumulation rate is observed, which indicates the saturation effect. At ...

The aim of this work is to study the properties of nanostructured (1 − x)ZrO2 − xCeO2 composite ceramics, depending on the content of oxide components, as well as to establish the relationship between the phase composition of ceramics and strength properties. The choice of (1− x)ZrO2 − xCeO2 composite ceramics as objects of study is due to the great prospects for using them ...

The key aim of this paper is to study the presence effect of LiO impurity phases in Li2ZrO3 ceramics on the resistance to helium swelling and structural degradation during implanted helium accumulation in the near-surface layer structure. The hypothesis put forward is based on a number of scientific papers, in which it was reported that the presence of two or more phases in ...

In this work, using a mechanochemical solid-phase synthesis method, ZrO2—CeO2 ceramics doped with yttrium were obtained, which have great prospects for use as a basis for dispersed nuclear fuel materials or inert nuclear fuel matrices. The purpose of this work was to study the formation of the ZrO2—CeO2 phase composition, depending on the concentration of yttrium dopant, as ...

In this article, a novel method of simultaneous carborane- and gadolinium-containing compounds as efficient agents for neutron capture therapy (NCT) delivery via magnetic nanocarriers is presented. The presence of both Gd and B increases the efficiency of NCT and using nanocarriers enhances selectivity. These factors make NCT not only efficient, but also safe. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 ...

The article is dedicated to the study of the phase formation processes in Li2ZrO3 ceramics obtained by the method of solid phase synthesis. Interest in these types of ceramics is due to their great potential for use as blanket materials in thermonuclear reactors, as well as being one of the candidates for tritium breeder materials. Analysis of the morphological features of the ...
