  PhD , nuclear materials researcher

  My research aimed to develop a new methodology for understanding nuclear graphite and its damage processes via the correlative use of different characterisation methods and by novel data processing methods applied to characterisation data. This includes use of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) acquired under damage free conditions and analysed using an improved automated fitting method in order to extract information on carbon bonding within the samples. Some of this methodology was developed using in-situ electron irradiation of nuclear graphite.A range of different techniques (including TEM,SEM,EELS,Raman Spectroscopy and XRD), and samples (both unirradiated and irradiate nuclear graphite grades ) were investigated and the effect of degradation was studied as variation of irradiation dose and temperature in terms of the change in crystallite size and carbon bonding.
