As both the design of material systems for nuclear energy applications and the number of
reactor designs being proposed increase the need for material models predicting the …

Different descriptions used to model a point-defect in an elastic continuum are reviewed.
The emphasis is put on the elastic dipole approximation, which is shown to be equivalent to …

Dislocation loops are ubiquitous in irradiated materials, and dislocation loop bias plays a
critical role in void swelling. However, due to complicated interactions between dislocation …

Stacking-fault tetrahedron (SFT) is one kind of typical three-dimensional vacancy defect in
quenched, deformed or irradiated face-centered cubic (FCC) metals, which can seriously …

Developing predictive models for the microstructure evolution of materials requires an
accurate description of the point defects fluxes to the different sinks, such as dislocations …

Sensitivity of microstructures under irradiation to absorption biases of dislocations and
dislocation loops is investigated by rate equation cluster dynamics (RECD). Contrary to …

The interaction of hydrogen and helium atoms with 1/2< 111> interstitial dislocation loop in
tungsten is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The binding energies of …

This article reviews the principles and applications of the phase field technique for modeling
phase transformations and microstructural evolutions, with an emphasis on solid-solid …

Irradiation-induced void denuded zone (VDZ) formation near grain boundaries was studied
to clarify the effects of minor alloying elements on vacancy diffusivity during irradiation in …

Irradiation induces significant changes in the microstructure of structural materials, many of
which are driven by the preferential capture of point defects at particular sinks, such as …
