Abstract
The experimental data of the effect of irradiation on the decomposition of alloys and doped alkali halide crystals are presented. Depending on the composition of the solid solution and other conditions, the irradiation can both accelerate and induce the decomposition. The mechanisms and some features of the decomposition of solid solution under irradiation are discussed.
Keywords: Radiation, metal, alloys, alkali halide, solid solution, decomposition of solid solution, precipitation, precipitates.
