⇦Chinese Physics Letters, 2020, Vol. 37, No. 9, Article code 099901 Retraction: Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti$_3$SiC$_2$ Irradiated by Carbon Ions [Chin. Phys. Lett. 31 (2014) 072801] Affiliations Citation Text: 2020 Chin. Phys. Lett. 37 099901    Abstract DOI:10.1088/0256-307X/37/9/099901 PACS:99.10.Ln © 2020 Chinese Physics Society Article Text It has been brought to the attention of Chinese Physics Letters (CPL) that this article[1] should not have been submitted for publication because of its replication, without citation, of an earlier paper ``Damage accumulation and recovery in C$^{+}$-irradiated Ti$_{3}$SiC$_{2}$'' (Q. Qi, G. J. Cheng, L. Q. Shi, D. J. O'Connor, B. V. King and E. H. Kisi 2014 Acta Materialia 66 317[2]). QI Qiang, CHENG Gui-Jun and SHI Li-Qun appear in the author lists of both the papers. Figures 1 and 5 in the CPL article are the same as Figs. 1 and 4 in the earlier one, respectively. The text of the CPL article copied a lot from the earlier one. Due to the inappropriate use of duplicated figures and texts from an earlier published paper, the Editorial Board of Chinese Physics Letters hereby retracts this paper.
