An Introduction to Nuclear Materials

K. Linga Murty has been on the faculty of the Nuclear Engineering department at North Carolina State University since 1981 and has been teaching courses in Nuclear Materials. He received his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics (Materials) from Cornell University (USA) in 1970. Dr. Murty is the recipient of numerous awards including the American Nuclear Society Mishima Award (1993) and the Metcalfe Medal (1963). He is a fellow of ASM-International, ANS and IIM and has authored or coauthored more than 290 technical papers.

Indrajit Charit has been on the faculty of the Chemical and Materials Engineering department at the University of Idaho since 2007. He serves both Materials Science and Engineering and Nuclear Engineering programs. He was a member of the research staff of the Nuclear Engineering department at North Carolina State University since 2005. He received his Ph.D. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla (USA) in 2004. Dr. Charit?s research focuses on developing processing-structure-properties relationships in nuclear reactor materials, and his research has been supported by the US Department of Energy?s Nuclear Energy University Programs, Idaho National Laboratory and Center for Advanced Energy Studies. He has published about 60 technical papers.
