The size limitation of ab initio calculations impedes first-principles simulations of crystal
defects at nanometer sizes. Considering clusters of self-interstitial atoms as a paradigm for …

Abstract Fe and Fe-Cr (Cr= 10–16 at.%) specimens were neutron-irradiated at 300° C to
0.01, 0.1 and 1 dpa. The TEM observations indicated that the Cr significantly reduced the …

We propose a powerful extension to combined molecular and spin dynamics that fully
captures the coupling between the atomic and spin subsystems via spin-orbit interactions. Its …

The accurate and fast identification of crystallographic defects plays a key role for the
analysis of atomistic simulation output data. For face-centered cubic (fcc) metals, most …

The microstructure of pure vanadium after hydrogen ion irradiation at room temperature to a
fluence of 1× 10 17 ions/cm 2 (and 5× 10 16 ions/cm 2) was investigated by transmission …

The influence of surfaces on the evolution of damage of irradiated Fe is studied using object
kinetic Monte Carlo with input from molecular dynamics simulations and ab initio …

The type of damage observed under transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in bcc Fe and
FeCr alloys under irradiation is very dependent on the irradiation conditions. At high doses …

We report the observation of the generation of dislocations in single-crystal phase-change In
2 Se 3 nanowires under electrical pulses and the impact of these dislocations on electrical …

The structural materials in nuclear reactors are subjected to severe irradiation conditions,
leading to changes in their mechanical properties. The aging of these materials raises …
