Stacking faults are defined as regions present in the crystal where the normal sequence of
stacking is disturbed. This takes place around a localized area. These defects come under …

In this study, by theoretical means, we reveal the main mechanisms that underpin the
microstructure evolution driven by the formation of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) clusters in …

Vanadium alloys are the promising first wall and blanket materials for fusion reactors. Large
amounts of helium (He) and hydrogen (H) impurities are produced inside the materials …

This paper addresses the EUROfusion DEMO materials research program and highlights
the characterization of the in-vessel baseline materials EUROFER97, CuCrZr and tungsten …

Quantum-mechanical calculations are used to determine the temperature dependence of
the Gibbs energy of vacancy formation in nickel. Existing data reveal a discrepancy between …

By means of thermodynamic analyses, we provide the intriguing evidence that the
equilibrium vacancy concentrations and their clusters in high entropy alloys (HEAs) are …

Irradiation creates excess point defects in materials (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms),
which can be eliminated by mutual recombination, clustering, or annihilation of preexisting …

The concentration of chromium (Cr) plays an important role on the radiation induced
microstructure of the binary Fe–Cr alloys, in particular on the formation of cavities leading to …

The occurrence of segregation in dilute alloys under irradiation is a highly unusual
phenomenon that has recently attracted attention, stimulated by the interest in the …

This paper reports an attempt to speculate about corrosion resistance of T91 steel to
extreme lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE) flow pattern. We build a modified dynamic corrosion …
