Neutron irradiation alters the mechanical properties of metallic parts, which are exposed to
service temperatures below 40% of their homologous temperature. These working …

We present an Fe–Cr interatomic potential to model high-Cr ferritic alloys. The potential is
fitted to thermodynamic and point-defect properties obtained from density functional theory …

This article gives an overview of the strategy followed nowadays to model the evolution of
metallic alloy microstructures under irradiation. For this purpose, multiscale approaches are …

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to analyze nanovoid growth in single
crystalline vanadium under tension. Radial distribution function at the first nearest neighbor …

In this work we studied the interaction of a ½〈 111〉{110} edge dislocation with Cu-rich
precipitates, mimicking those that are known to form in RPV steels. We have applied a …

Binary (Fe, Cr) alloys and high-chromium ferritic–martensitic steels undergo α–α′ phase
separation under thermal ageing or irradiation. The resulting Cr-rich precipitates (α′ phase) …

An investigation is reported of the probability and the probability density of thermal activation
of stress-driven dislocation processes, as simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) …

In this work Fe–Cr compounds, as model alloys for the ferritic base steels that are
considered as main candidates for the structural materials of the future fusion reactors, are …

Fusion has the potential for delivering safe, clean, low carbon power; however, significant
scientific and engineering hurdles must first be overcome. One such hurdle is the design of …

Experiments and atomic-scale computer simulations have shown that nano-scale voids and
copper precipitates can be strong obstacles to the glide of dislocations in neutron-irradiated …
