When driven to extreme temperatures, solid density matter can exhibit properties different than those found at ambient conditions. Measurement of properties, in particular transport properties such as the electrical conductivity, has been possible by heating thin films of material using ultrafast lasers. However, interpretation of experimental results and comparison with theoretical prediction...

13. Radiation induced damage in nuclear materials studied with UED and modeling

Prof. Artur Tamm (University of Tartu)

Experimental study of early damage in nuclear damage has been very challenging due to low quantity and small size of defects. Therefore, being able to reliably validate modelling techniques of primary damage in nuclear materials has not been possible. Recent, advances in UED experiments has made it possible to study the dynamics of the material due to laser excitation. By comparing the signals...
