Additional information
MAX phases (Mn+1AXn) are new and increasingly diverse with applications in both high temperature and more importantly for nuclear energy, high radiation environments. This is the first reported in-situ examination of induced radiation damage in these materials showing stability to high levels of experienced radiation damage (≥35 dpa). This is at the forefront of research worldwide into nuclear applications, e.g., reactor materials in GenIV fission reactors, and plasma facing materials in fusion reactors. This work led to a joint EPSRC-DOE/NEUP programme EP/K039237/1 (£1M/$3.5M) developing them as advanced coatings on cladding to reduce the effects of steam attack.
