Tungsten plays a significant role in the nuclear industry, in which defects are generated
upon exposure to irradiation. Irradiation-induced defects, such as dislocation loops and …

Boron doping, combined with neutron capture in fission reactors, has been used to simulate
the helium effect on fusion structural materials. However, inhomogeneous helium bubble …

A high-purity binary alloy Fe18Cr was subjected to heavy-ion irradiation in order to provide
improved understanding of the irradiation effect on radiation hardening associated with …

By impeding dislocation motion, the irradiation-induced dislocation loops cause irradiation
hardening and further embrittlement of plasma-facing tungsten in fusion reactors, leading to …

Establishing the correlation between damage recovery and temperature in nuclear materials
is vital to understanding material property degradation. Among the handful of topics related …

This study aimed to investigate the microstructure information and mechanical behavior of
ion-irradiated zirconium (Zr) alloys through a combination of experimental measurements …

Using the object kinetic Monte Carlo (OKMC) method and the sink strength model, we
systematically investigated the influence of the initial microstructure and temperature on the …

Si 2+ irradiation with the dose of 33.8–100 dpa was used to study the dislocation loops and
hardening in W and W-3Re alloy at 400° C and 550° C using transmission electron …

Recent studies addressing the change of mechanical properties after high temperature
irradiation of tungsten have reported substantial increase of the ductile to brittle transition …

Molecular dynamics simulations have revealed the collapse mechanism of a void in cubic
metals under shock compression along [100] direction. The results show that the void …
