Irradiation damage drives complex and coupled phenomena in materials at far-from-equilibrium conditions. The self-organization of nanoscale defects in materials under irradiation shows great potential to tailor the physical properties of materials by controlling nanopatterned microstructures. Irradiation-induced gas bubble and void superlattices are two important ordered nanostructures of great scientific interest. Although both types of superlattices have been investigated extensively, a consensus has yet to be reached on their formation mechanisms. In this review article, the current research status of gas bubble and void superlattices in metals and alloys and their characterization, structural stability, and mechanistic modeling are summarized. The fundamental research goals to advance the mechanistic understanding of gas bubble and void superlattices are outlined.
