To cope with the shortcomings of nuclear fuel design exposed during the Fukushima
Nuclear Accident, researchers around the world have been directing their studies towards …

With multiple principal components, high entropy alloys (HEAs) have aroused great interest
due to their unique microstructures and outstanding properties. Recently, the corrosion …

Zr/Nb 6 multilayers of 6 nm periodicity, with well-composition-modulated structures, were
prepared by magnetron sputtering. Their microstructure and scratch properties were …

In this work, the radiation responses of Zr/Nb nanostructured metallic multilayers (NMMs) are
studied. The nanostructures with different layer thicknesses were deposited on Si (1 1 1) …

Tailoring interfaces is a powerful way of reducing the accumulation of radiation defects.
Understanding strain evolution induced by ion bombardment in nuclear materials with high …

The microstructure evolution of hydrogen-implanted 6H-SiC at different temperatures and
fluences is investigated by using various experimental techniques. In H-implanted samples …

In continuation from the earlier Part I, this paper presents the status on the investigations of
Cr-coated zirconium alloys under both normal operating and hypothetical accident …

Irradiation-induced anisotropic swelling in hexagonal α-SiC is known to degrade the
mechanical properties of SiC; however, the associated physical mechanism and …

As for a newly developed tempered martensitic steel, SIMP with 1.4 wt.% Si, used in the
Chinese Initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS), so it is worth investigating the stress …

The application of LIGA Ni and nanocrystalline binary Ni-X (X= W, Mo, Fe) alloys in the micro-
electro-mechanical systems is severely limited due to their strength and ductility trade-off at …
