Analytical equations were developed to calculate the strength factors of precipitates, Frank
loops, and cavities in austenitic alloys, which strongly depend on barrier type, size, geometry …

Helium (He) exerts a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of irradiated
materials. The microstructural evolutions and hardening mechanisms of pure 1μm thick Cu …

In this work, using in-situ uniaxial tensile and compressive testing, microscopy, and
theoretical analysis, we study the mechanism underlying the ultrahigh irradiation hardening …

Voids of nanoscale dimensions in irradiated metals can act as obstacles to dislocation
motion and cause strengthening. In this work, nanovoid strengthening and the influences of …

The growth of advanced energy technologies for power generation is enabled by the design,
development, and integration of structural materials that can withstand extreme …

At elevated temperatures, bimetallic nanomaterials change their morphologies because of
the interdiffusion of atomic species, which also alters their properties. The Kirkendall effect …

Abstract Development of irradiation hardening models attracts extensive attention in
designing nuclear materials. Dislocation dynamics (DD) method is a powerful tool in this …

Abstract The effects of 5 MeV Fe 2+ ion irradiation at 300° C on the microstructure evolution
and deformation behavior of a FeCrAl C26M alloy are presented. It has been found that …

Nanometric voids are one of the fundamental defects generated by neutron irradiation in
fusion environment, which impede dislocation motion and cause hardening of plasma facing …

Materials often fail prematurely or catastrophically under load while containing voids, posing
a challenge to materials manufacturing. We found that a metal (gold) containing spherical …
