Sodium ion batteries (NIBs) are an attractive alternative to lithium‐ion batteries in
applications that require large‐scale energy storage due to sodium's high natural …

Abstract Beginning with Chicago Pile I, graphite has been used as a moderator material in
nuclear power stations and is considered a potential material for use in future Generation IV …

Laser machining is promising in shaping the brittle carbon/carbon composites (C/Cs) with
deep holes, sharp edges, or thin walls. However, there are still many unknowns relating to …

Raman spectroscopy has long been used in studying irradiation damage in carbon/graphite
materials. It is however unclear if the measurements from different types of materials are …

Nano-indentation at temperatures up to 600° C has been applied to the (0001) surface of
highly oriented pyrolytic graphite using a spherical diamond tip (∼ 10 μm diameter). Cross …

Nuclear graphite plays a vital role in GEN-IV reactors and is expected to function in the
harsh environments such as high temperature and high-dose irradiation. The ion irradiation …

The direct integration of GaN with Si can boost great potential for low-cost, large-scale, and
high-power device applications. However, it is still challengeable to directly grow GaN on Si …

This work investigated the porosity evolution of POCO ZXF-5Q graphite that has been
irradiated by 340 kW, 120 GeV protons inside NT02 target system in Fermilab's NuMI …

Here 60 graphene layers were loaded uniaxially, UA, along the zig-zag configuration, or by
double indentation, DI, normal to the basal planes with molecular dynamics simulations. In …

Fine-grained nuclear graphite is one of the key structural materials for high temperature gas-
cooled reactors as well as several Generation IV nuclear fission reactor designs. However …
