The connection between the accumulation of structural defects caused by proton irradiation and the destruction of the near-surface layer of Li4SiO4 – Li2TiO3 ceramics by Inesh E. Kenzhina, Artem L. Kozlovskiy, Aktolkyn Tolenova, Meiram Begentayev, Saulet Askerbekov

“…Moreover, in contrast to other types of ceramics, the presence of lithium in the composition of the samples under study leads to limitations in the use of classical analysis methods (scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis or optical spectroscopy) of structural changes caused by the accumulation of radiation damage, which requires the use of more complex methods for the assessment of the defect concentration in the structure, as well as establishing their relationship with the deterioration of strength and thermophysical parameters, playing a key role in determining the stability mechanisms and further exploitation of ceramics for tritium production. …”
