Molecular dynamics study of grain boundaries as defect sinks under irradiation in LiAlO2 and LiAl5O8

Abstract Lithium aluminate ceramics, LiAlO2 and LiAl5O8, show promise in nuclear environments due to their excellent radiation tolerance. Molecular dynamics simulations investigate grain boundaries (GB) and their role in defect evolution. Results reveal that GBs act as efficient defect sinks, with L...
