Abstract
Particle irradiation has a pronounced influence on the mechanical and thermal properties of materials, largely due to the generation of point defects. Owing to their large free surface to volume ratio, nanostructured metals show improved irradiation resistance. This nanostructuring can negatively impact the creep resistance of these materials, but by introducing fine precipitates this effect can be balanced.
