2194732 – Materials for Nuclear Fusion and Accelerator Applications

The lecture will take place as an in-person event in building 10.81, room 219.1. It will begin on April 22, 2026, and will be held on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. The dates for the exercises will be announced in the first lecture.

Oral examination (about 30 min)

1. Fundamentals in atom physics
- Radiation basics
- Interactions (scattering, capture, decay, transmutation, cross-sections)

- Neutronics (spectra, fission/fusion, moderation, shielding)

2. Radiation sources
- Accelerators
- Spallation sources

3. Irradiation induced material damage
- Damage mechanisms (displacement, lattice defects, diffusion)
- Specific irradiation phenomena (swelling, radiation creep, non-equilibrium thermodynamics)
- Irradiation induced changes of material properties (hardening, embrittlement)

4. Applications and material selection

5. Material challenges in nuclear fusion
