Thermal diffusivity in ion-irradiated single-crystal iron, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten measured using transient grating spectroscopy
Open accessAbstract
The speed-up of radiation science development with the advent of ion-irradiation experiments has, until recently, been omitted in the post-irradiation examination technique. This paper reports the results of transient grating spectroscopy—a rapid, non-destructive, in situ photothermal surface technique—of ion-irradiated single-crystals of iron, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten at room temperature. Thermal diffusivity was used to track damage development throughout irradiation, with 5 MeV self-ion irradiated iron, chromium, and vanadium showing little to no change up to damages of the order of 1 dpa. 5 MeV Si3+-ion irradiated tungsten exhibits a reduction of thermal diffusivity from 0.78(7) to 0.29(2) cm2 s−1 with logarithmically increasing dose over a similar damage range. A comparison to literature of transient grating spectroscopy thermal diffusivity values past and present shows good agreement; radiation-induced change can be clearly distinguished from differences between mono- and poly-crystalline tungsten.

Thermal diffusivity decreases as radiation damage accumulates in copper and other mono-atomic metals.
“Consistent with previous high-temperature irradiation studies on copper [35] and other mono-atomic metals [16, 36], thermal diffusivity decreases as radiation damage accumulates (Figure 5).”
From A facility for thermo-mechanical characterization of fusion magnet materials during cryogenic ion irradiation (2025) · cites this paper as [16]
The available copy identifies a study of thermal diffusivity in ion-irradiated iron, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten (title and bibliographic entry, no page given), but contains no results showing that diffusivity decreases as damage accumulates. Searches for dose-related decreases and high-temperature irradiation returned only bibliographic material; the available passages do not address copper either. (LLM, conf=0.76)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe two-step fitting approach improved both thermal and functional fitting sensitivity compared to existing techniques, especially in cases with noisy or rapid signal decay.
“This approach improved both thermal and functional fitting sensitivity compared to existing techniques [16, 31], especially in cases with noisy or rapid signal decay.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
