Single crystals of transition metal carbides from group IV, TiC 1-x and ZrC 1-x, have been
irradiated at room temperature (RT) with 1.2 MeV gold ions for various fluences in the range …

Silicon carbide has a high resistance to irradiation making it a material of choice for use in
the nuclear reactors. In this work, we focus on experiments involving implantation of 30 keV …

Hastelloy N alloy was implanted with 30 keV, 5× 10 16 ions/cm 2 helium ions at room
temperature, and subsequent annealed at 600° C for 1 h and further annealed at 850° C for …

The effects of helium (He) in the migration behaviour of silver (Ag) implanted into
polycrystalline siclicon carbide (SiC) was investigated. Polycrystalline SiC wafers were first …

Oxide dispersion strengthened reduced activation ferritic steels are being considered as
structural materials for future fusion reactors and Gen IV fission reactors. In this work, the …

Oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steels are main candidates for structural applications
in future fusion reactors. Understanding their irradiation-induced behaviour is a key in …

The manuscript reviews several selected applications of Activation Analysis that differ from
classical laboratory measurements by the fact that they do not require sampling of the …

The different solution and migration behaviors of tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial
helium in bcc iron have been investigated by using first principles calculations. We showed …
