Concerning the effect of neutron irradiation on certain thermophysical characteristics of metals

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown experimentally that in neutron irradiated metals the heat capacity and thermoemf undergo changes because of the introduction of radiation effects. The feasibility of using these phenomena to determine the concentration of excess vacancies is discussed.
