..., and alleviation of radiation hardening. The interfaces promote the annihilation of opposite point defects and enlarge the capacity of He absorption by orders of magnitude. Miscible systems, such as Fe/W, is less stable again radiation. However, Al/Nb, though miscible as well, can form a high density intermetallic...
