Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

A brief review is given of fundamental materials science concepts important for development
of structural materials for fusion energy systems. Particular attention is placed on …

Monte Carlo refers to a broad class of algorithms that solve problems through the use of
random numbers. They first emerged in the late 1940's and 1950's as electronic computers …

Ceramics destined for use in hostile environments such as nuclear reactors or waste
immobilization must be highly durable and especially resistant to radiation damage effects …

Nanocrystalline materials have received great attention due to their potential for improved
functionality and have been proposed for extreme environments where the interfaces are …

Efforts were and are made to develop performant fabrication technologies, for transparent
polycrystalline spinel–a material used for armor, infrared windows and other products …

Using time-dependent density-functional theory we calculate from first principles the rate of
energy transfer from a moving proton or antiproton to the electrons of an insulating material …

Computational modelling techniques are now widely employed in materials science, due to
recent advances in computing power and simulation methodologies, since they can enable …

Because of its unrivaled predictive power, the molecular dynamics (MD) method is widely
used in theoretical chemistry, physics, biology, materials science, and engineering …

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 …
