Was G.S. Fundamentals of Radiation Materials Science: Metals and Alloys

Springer, 2007. — 839 p. — ISBN: 9783540494713.The purpose of this text is to provide a foundation for understanding the theory and mechanisms behind the effects of irradiation on metals and alloys. The subject is divided into three parts, each of which is subdivided into individual chapters that together, provide a unified picture of how radiation interacts with, and alters the structure and properties of metallic materials.
This book should also be useful to researchers who would like to learn more about the subject, or who would like a more complete and integrated treatment of the topics than can be found in individual papers on the subject. While the chapters are integratedwith oneanotherandeachchapterbuildsuponthe sumoftheprevious chapters, it is possible to read selected chapters for just that topic.
As a final comment, the author would like to note that this book was written by sorting, organizingand condensinginformationfrom several texts and numerous journal and conference papers in order to arrive at a comprehensive description of the processes constituting radiation materials science. A conscientious effort was made to acknowledge and give credit to the original sources of the ideas, theories, mathematical developments and drawings contained herein. For occasional over-sights that may have occurred during the condensation process, the author offers his apologies. He is indebted to the many authors and publishers who providedmaterial and illustrations for this text.Radiation Damage
