We find that Fe2,AlB2 is more tolerant to radiation-induced amorphization than MoAlB, both at 150 ℃ and at 300 ℃. The results can be explained by the fact that the Mo Frenkel pair is unstable in MoAlB and as a result, irradiated MoAlB is expected to have a significant concentration of MoAl antisites, which are difficult to anneal even at 300 ℃. We find that the tolerance to radiation-induced amorphization of MAB phases is lower than in MAX phases, but it is comparable to that of SiC. However, MAB phases do not show radiation-induced cracking which is observed in MAX phases under the same irradiation conditions. This study suggests that MAB phases might be a promising class of materials for applications that involve radiation.]]> Tue 14 May 2024 09:12:30 AEST ]]> Defect recovery processes in Cr-B binary and Cr-Al-B MAB phases: structure-dependent radiation tolerance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53915 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:13:41 AEDT ]]>
