Structural materials represent the key for containment of nuclear fuel and fission products as well as reliable and thermodynamically efficient production of electrical energy from nuclear …
A novel interface engineering strategy is proposed to simultaneously achieve superior irradiation tolerance, high strength, and high thermal stability in bulk nanolayered …
The irradiation behavior of Al x CoCrFeNi (x= 0.1, 0.75, and 1.5) high entropy alloys was studied under 3 MeV Au-ions irradiation. The microstructural change and volume swelling …
The dependence of the width of void-denuded zones (VDZs) on grain boundary (GB) characters was investigated in Cu irradiated with He ions at elevated temperature …
