Neutron irradiation of sapphire for compressive strengthening. II. Physical properties changes

Irradiation of sapphire with fast neutrons (0.8–10 MeV) at a fluence of 10 22/m 2 increased the c-axis compressive strength and the c-plane biaxial flexure strength at 600 °C by a factor of ∼2.5. Both effects are attributed to inhibition of r-plane twin propagation by damage clusters resulting from...
