Project description

The aims of the project are (1) the identification of the variation, induced by thermal aging en neutron irradiation, of the magnetic properties and to correlate these magnetic features to the relevant mechanical properties (2) to investigate the complex interplay between interstitials, precipiates, dislocations and other defects.
