Nucleation and growth are critical steps in crystallization, which plays an important role in
determining crystal structure, size, morphology, and purity. Therefore, understanding the …

To efficiently capture the energy of the nuclear bond, advanced nuclear reactor concepts
seek solid fuels that must withstand unprecedented temperature and radiation extremes. In …

The synergistic evolution mechanisms of He bubbles and dislocation loops under 30 keV H
2+ & H e+ dual-beam ions irradiation at 650° C in the Ni-based alloy GH3535, which is the …

Swelling associated with the formation and growth of cavities is among the most damaging
of radiation-induced degradation modes for structural materials in advanced nuclear reactor …

As fission fragments pass through UO 2 nuclear fuel, a considerable concentration of
Frenkel pair defects (ie vacancies and interstitials) are created. The steady-state …

The change in surface damage/microstructures and its effects on the hydrogen (H)
isotope/helium (He) dynamic behavior are the key factors for investigating issues of tungsten …

The M4F project brings together the fusion and fission materials communities working on the
prediction of radiation damage production and evolution and their effects on the mechanical …

The vast majority of our current knowledge regarding the basic mechanisms controlling
irradiation effect on mechanical properties is based almost entirely on the results of post …

We propose a model describing the high burnup structure inter-granular porosity evolution
under irradiation. The evolution of the porosity collecting the gas diffusing from the grains is …

The growth rate of structural defects in nuclear fuels under irradiation is intrinsically related
to the diffusion rates of the defects in the fuel lattice. The generation and growth of atomistic …
