On the one hand, Irradiation is everywhere and irradiation effect, especially the material
irradiation damage effect under strong irradiation field, is one of the key factors for the …

In 1959 the Journal of Nuclear Materials (JNM) was founded and is now celebrating its
Diamond Anniversary year. The present paper is part of a series in which single JNM …

How displacement damage defects generate and evolve in materials irradiated by energetic
particles is a perennial topic in the field of nuclear materials. Here we experimentally reveal …

There remain some drawbacks of mechanical properties of W materials as a plasma facing
material (PFM) for fusion reactor divertors, which are low temperature brittleness, high …

Prediction of material performance in fusion reactor environments relies on computational
modelling, and will continue to do so until the first generation of fusion power plants come on …

Under the anticipated operating conditions for demonstration magnetic fusion reactors
beyond ITER, structural and plasma-facing materials will be exposed to unprecedented …

In fusion reactor environment, helium bubble acts as a crucial inducement to the
performance degradation of plasma facing tungsten, leading to irradiation hardening and …

Neutron irradiation in mixed spectrum reactors is an effective approach to investigate the
synergistic effects of solid transmutations and atomic displacement damage in tungsten. In …

The development of appropriate materials for fusion reactors that can sustain high neutron
fluence at elevated temperatures remains a great challenge. Tungsten is one of the …

The “void lattice” formed by periodic arrangements of voids, usually replicating the symmetry
and crystallographic orientation of the host matrix, is an interesting phenomenon in materials …
