A more open future for nuclear research
A growing number of institutional, national, and funder mandates are requiring researchers to make their published work immediately publicly accessible, through either open repositories or open access (OA) publications. In addition, both private and public funders are developing policies, such as those from the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the European Commission, that ask researchers to make publicly available at the time of publication as much of their underlying data and other materials as possible. These, combined with movement in the scientific community toward embracing open science principles (seen, for example, in the dramatic rise of preprint servers like arXiv), demonstrate a need for a different kind of publishing outlet.

The effect is studied of ion bombardment (Ar+, E = 20 keV, j = 100 A/cm2, F = 5 × 1016 to 1018 cm-2) and thermal annealing on the atomic and magnetic structure of the FePd2Au alloy after 80% cold plastic deformation and quenching from 1200°C. It is established by the Mössbauer effect and X-ray diffraction that ion irradiation at 350°C (for 1.5 to 30 min) causes formation in the disordered face-centered-cubic matrix of a long-range atomic order (of an Fe atom sublattice at an anomalously large depth up to 20 m, at an ion projected range of ~13 nm) accompanied by ferromagnetic to asperomagnetic phase transition (Tmeas = 77 K). Annealing at T = 350°C up to 30 min in the absence of irradiation does not result in any noticeable changes in the atomic and magnetic structure. Atom mobility (the ordered structure formation rate) in the course of irradiation at 350°C is approximately the same as observed in the case of annealing at 700°C.
