Study of the Effect of Doping ZrO Ceramics with MgO to Increase the Resistance to Polymorphic Transformations under the Action of Irradiation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of doping ZrO ceramics with MgO on radiation swelling and polymorphic transformations, as a result of irradiation with heavy ions. Interest in these types of materials is due to the great prospects for their use as structural materials for new-generation reactors. The study established the dependences of the phase composition formation and changes in the structural parameters following a change in the concentration of MgO.
