We present a theoretically-motivated model of helium bubble density as a function of volume
for high-pressure helium bubbles in plasma-facing tungsten. The model is a good match to …

In this study, we employ transmission electron microscope (TEM) to analyze radiation
defects in helium (He) and krypton (Kr) ions implanted bulk and thin-foil tungsten. For bulk …

He bubbles can exhibit different behaviors due to their different positions in the
nanocrystalline materials. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the dynamic …

Imaging nanoscale radiation-induced defects using the transmission electron microscope
(TEM) is a key factor in the successful implementation of materials for nuclear energy …

In materials exposed to neutron irradiation, helium atoms produced by transmutation
reactions are prevalent and play a significant role in the evolution of dislocation loops …

High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are proposed as materials for a variety of extreme
environments, including both fission and fusion radiation applications. To withstand these …
