Irradiation creates excess point defects in materials (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms),
which can be eliminated by mutual recombination, clustering, or annihilation of preexisting …

Whereas exceptional mechanical and radiation performances have been found in the
emergent body-centered cubic (BCC) refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs) …

Nanocrystalline materials have received great attention due to their potential for improved
functionality and have been proposed for extreme environments where the interfaces are …

Many of the purported virtues of Multi-Principal Element Alloys (MPEAs), such as corrosion,
high-temperature oxidation and irradiation resistance, are highly sensitive to vacancy …

Atomic investigation of point defects is the basis for exploring the mechanisms underlying
the macro performance of materials under irradiation. Owing to the complex local disordered …

A dual-phase 12Cr oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloy, with improved corrosion and
oxidation resistance exhibits promising void swelling resistance and microstructural stability …

Defect evolution under irradiation is investigated in a set of single-phase concentrated solid
solution alloys (SP-CSAs) containing Ni with Co, Fe and/or Cr. We show that atomic …

We propose a simple bond energy model that can accurately predict the average stacking
fault energy (SFE) in concentrated solid-solution alloys. The SFE is approximated by the …

Compared to decades-old theories of strengthening in dilute solid solutions, the mechanical
behavior of concentrated solid solutions is relatively poorly understood. A special subset of …

Defect sinks, such as grain boundaries and phase boundaries, have been widely accepted
to improve the irradiation resistance of metallic materials. However, free surface, an ideal …
