Uranium mononitride (UN) with 5 wt.% uranium dioxide (UO 2) is used as a model system to
study the phase and defect evolution under proton irradiation in nitride-oxide composite …

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) thin film deposited via thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) has
been recently chosen as a candidate technology for application of a diffusion barrier coating …

Abstract Ni-Graphene Oxide (GO) composite coating was prepared on Q235 steel plate by
electro-brush plating technique to reduce the corrosion of fluoride ion. In this study, SEM …

The surface composition and microstructure of an up to 5 µm thick multilayer on a knee
implant were investigated. When the implant was explanted after approximately two years of …

Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of neutron-irradiated uranium-10 wt.%
molybdenum (U-10Mo) fuel with a burn-up of 9.8× 10 21 fissions/cm 3 was characterized …

A novel approach is presented to determine the local burnup in irradiated fuels using
isotopic quantification obtained by Atom Probe Tomography (APT). Considering the volume …
