Piezoelectric motors designed for operation in ITER tokamak-reactor must be tested for stability under severe radiation conditions. Properties of lead zirconate-titanate - the most common type of piezoelectric materials - were analysed from the point of view on influence of radiation. It is shown that at the expected in ITER level of radiation, this piezoceramic has a good potential for resistance to radiation amorphization and depolarization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
