Abstract
Irradiation-induced defects, such as dislocation loops, significantly affect the mechanical properties of structural alloys, altering slip and influencing creep and growth. As a consequence, the quantitative characterization of irradiation-influenced defect structures as a function of dose, thermal treatments and/or cold work is essential for models which predict changes in mechanical properties due to the accumulation of irradiation defects. Whole pattern diffraction line profile analysis (DLPA) is a modern tool for microstructure characterization based on first-principles physical models, well established for dislocation density measurements in plastically deformed materials. However, the DLPA procedures that have been tailored for deformed materials account for the strain anisotropy of hexagonal crystals with theoretical contrast factors calculated specifically for dislocation types generated by plasticity which, if directly applied to irradiated materials, will inherently introduce inaccuracies. In an effort to specifically address dislocation structures consisting of irradiation defects, a method was developed to calculate theoretical contrast factors for any general elliptically shaped dislocation loop. The values of the contrast factors are calculated and compiled in tables for six common elliptical 〈 a 〉-type and 〈 c + a 〉-type loops for ten hexagonal crystals, in order to provide a database for future DLPA work on irradiated materials. The use of the dislocation loop specific contrast factors is demonstrated on neutron-irradiated Zr–2.5Nb.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
