Research Abstract |
Structural disordering in magnesium aluminate spinel compounds MgAl_2O_4 induced by strong electronic excitation due to irradiation with swift heavy ions were investigated by means of advanced transmission electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, in connection to their application as inert matrix material in nuclear engineering. The results have clearly revealed the atomistic structure inside ion-tracks as well as the induced disordering behavior quantitatively. The atomistic mechanism for transformation into defective rock-salt structure has been also demonstrated.
