Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201303400-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A novel interface engineering strategy</bold> is proposed to simultaneously achieve superior irradiation tolerance, high strength, and high thermal stability in bulk nanolayered composites of a model face‐centered‐cubic (Cu)/body‐centered‐cubic (Nb) system. By synthesizing bulk nanolayered Cu‐Nb composites containing interfaces with controlled sink efficiencies, a novel material is designed in which nearly all irradiation‐induced defects are annihilated. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3zsqf2h5" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
