Nv. Kamyshanchenko et al., KINETICS OF DISLOCATION ENSEMBLES IN DEFORMABLE IRRADIATED MATERIALS, Physics of the solid state, 40(9), 1998, pp. 1482-1485
The development of plastic instability in the initial deformation stag
es of irradiated materials is studied. The dependence of the fraction
of dislocations which overcome obstacles in the dynamic regime (disloc
ation ''channeling'') on the degree of radiation hardening (irradiatio
n dose) and the dislocation velocity is analyzed. It is shown that thi
s effect plays a role in radiation embrittlement of reactor materials.
