The mechanical properties, particularly, yield strength and ductility of metals, exposed under irradiation usually degrade due to generation of primary and secondary defects such as dislocations, vacancies, gas-bubbles, etc. Using atomistic simulations, we have shown that irradiation-induced Helium...
