Buckle, ruck and tuck: A proposed new model for the response of graphite to neutron irradiation

The default theory of radiation damage in graphite invokes Frenkel pair formation as the principal cause of physical property changes. We set out its inadequacies and present two new mechanisms that contribute to a better account for changes in dimension and stored energy. Damage depends on the subs...
