NEUP CINR-18-14749: Irradiation Behavior of Piezoelectric Materials for Nuclear Reactor Sensors

The objective of the proposed work is to perform a focused investigation of the irradiation behavior of piezoelectric aluminum nitride, a material considered as a highly attractive candidate for ultrasonic sensors in nuclear applications. In previous irradiation tests it has been identified as highly irradiation tolerant. The experiment will be designed to allow measurement of irradiation effects while isolating effects caused by transducer design.
