This $599,998 federal Project Grant award from the Department of Defense (CFDA 12.431 - Basic Scientific Research) supports research at Boise State University and Purdue University to understand how irradiation induces unusual amorphous-to-crystalline phase transformations in structural ceramics and their associated mechanical resilience. The primary work under this 3-year award involves molecular dynamics simulations at Purdue to model the crystalline phase nucleation process and internal strains from the phase transformation, as well as nanocompression experiments at Purdue to assess the mechanical resilience of the irradiated materials. Boise State University will provide complementary experimental characterization of the irradiation-induced phase changes and deformation behaviors. This research aims to advance fundamental scientific understanding of these unusual phenomena, which could inform the development of resilient ceramic materials with defense applications.
