Helium (He) bubbles are typical radiation defects in structural materials in nuclear reactors
after high dose energetic particle irradiation. In the past decades, extensive studies have …

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 …

Atmospheric plasma-sprayed tungsten coating is one of the most prospective plasma-facing
materials used in the first wall of nuclear fusion devices since its low tritium inventory, good …

He bubbles can exhibit different behaviors due to their different positions in the
nanocrystalline materials. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study the dynamic …

The influence of helium pressure on the mechanisms of diffusion of the He-filled
nanobubbles in fcc Al is investigated by the classical molecular dynamics. It is shown that at …

Tungsten (W) has been chosen as the primary plasma-facing material in nuclear fusion
reactors. However, when helium (He) ions are continuously irradiated, enormous amounts of …

Using the notion of eigenstrain produced by the defects formed in a material exposed to high
energy neutron irradiation, we develop a method for computing macroscopic elastic stress …

We report results of systematic molecular-dynamics computations of the elastic properties of
single-crystalline tungsten containing structural defects, voids and overpressurized He …

Energetics of helium-nanocavities interactions are crucial for unveiling underlying
mechanisms of nanocavity evolution in nuclear materials. Nevertheless, it becomes …

Zircaloy-4 alloy specimens consisting of α-Zr grains were irradiated on a tandem accelerator
with 5 MeV He ions to a fluence of 5× 10 21 ions m− 2 at different temperatures. Defect …
