Investigating Physico-Chemical Effects of LIBS on Nuclear Containment Materials

这个令人兴奋的博士项目研究了激光诱导击穿光谱（LIBS）与核安全壳材料的物理化学相互作用。将应用广泛的表面分析技术来评估和消除激光烧蚀引起的损伤，重点是了解腐蚀性能和机械完整性。这里的主要目的是开发LIBS的应用如何影响组件表面及其与设备的相互作用的机械理解，其想法是优化工程安全壳材料的寿命。将探索不同的LIBS系统和激光烧蚀参数，以更好地了解优化分析程序而不影响表面完整性的潜在方法。

This exciting PhD project investigates physico-chemical interaction of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with nuclear containment materials. A broad range of surface analytical techniques to assess and characterise damage introduced by laser ablation will be applied, with a focus on understanding corrosion performance and mechanical integrity. The key aim here is to develop a mechanistic understanding of how the application of LIBS can affect component surfaces and their interaction with evironment, with the idea to optimise life-time of engineering containment materials. Different LIBS systems and laser ablation parameter will be explored to better understand potential ways to optimise analysis routines without compromising the surface integrity.
