The brittle-ductile transition (BDT) of tungsten depends heavily on temperature-dependent
dislocation mobility. To well understand the underlying mechanism of tungsten fracture …

In this work, we have investigated the role of pre-existing nano-scale cavities and irradiation
sequence in helium clustering, and in the evolution of the cavity population in tungsten at …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to systematically study the pressure
evolution and bursting behavior of sub-surface helium bubbles and the resulting tungsten …

Tungsten and tungsten-based alloys are the primary candidate materials for plasma facing
components in fusion reactors. The exposure to high-energy radiation, however, severely …

This work discusses the response of ultrafine-grained tungsten materials to high-flux, high-
fluence, low energy pure He irradiation. Ultrafine-grained tungsten samples were exposed …

Gaining insight into the underlying mechanisms driving nanoindentation-induced behavior
in tungsten is essential for comprehending its mechanical properties. Although the plasticity …

Tungsten has been chosen as the plasma-facing wall material in fusion reactors, due to its
high density and melting point. The wall material will not only be sputtered at the surface, but …

In this work, the deformation behavior of irradiated tungsten at elevated service
temperatures is examined using mechanism-based crystal plasticity finite element …

Nanoindentation tests have shown that exposure to deuterium plasma causes a decrease in
pop-in load and an increase in hardness of tungsten. In this work, we use micro …

In our previous work, we have demonstrated using nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics
simulations that the fluxes of helium and self-interstitial atoms in the presence of a thermal …
