Effects of precipitates and dislocation loops on the yield stress of irradiated iron

Abstract Plastic deformation of crystalline materials is governed by the features of stress-driven motion of dislocations. In the case of irradiated steels subject to applied stresses, small dislocation loops as well as precipitates are known to interfere with the dislocation motion, leading to an i...
