Description
Summary:Materials with high radiation resistance are a major area of interest in the field of nuclear industry due to their wide range of applications. In this regard, this study investigates the radiation tolerance of a MgFe 2 O 4 sample successfully synthesized via the sol–gel route. Therefore, an investigation of the structural and morphological characterizations of MgFe 2 O 4 revealed a significantly high radiation resistance. Furthermore, Mössbauer spectrometry detected a cation redistribution with irradiation, while EPR showed the creation of oxygen vacancy defects by irradiation. Thus, the results presented in this study highlight the usefulness of the MgFe 2 O 4 as a promising material for the development of highly efficient devices in the nuclear industry.
