Helium (He) bubbles are typical radiation defects in structural materials in nuclear reactors
after high dose energetic particle irradiation. In the past decades, extensive studies have …

The mechanisms and processes of bubble nucleation and growth are still not completely
solved and research in this field is ongoing. This is an important issue for materials used in …

The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels used in current nuclear power plants embrittle as a
consequence of the continuous irradiation with neutrons. Among other radiation effects, the …

FeCrAl alloy is one of the promising cladding materials in the advanced nuclear reactors.
Here we compare the irradiation response of the nanolaminate (NL) and coarse-grained …

Molecular dynamics simulations of helium implantation into single-crystalline tungsten at 0
and 300K have been performed. Non-damaging ion energies of 50, 100 and 200eV were …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the interactions
between helium (He) and defects in tungsten (W). The binding energy between He and He …

Helium migration is an important mechanism of helium embrittlement in irradiated metallic
materials, which can severely affect their service reliability. Despite many efforts to reveal the …

A new potential for helium in bulk iron was developed in order to study the effect of He in
irradiated iron. As helium in iron degrades the material properties, a good description of He …

In this work, we perform atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to assess the properties
of small helium vacancy (He-V) and pure He clusters in body-centered cubic Fe and in Fe 90 …

The nucleation process of hydrogen blister in metals was investigated through experiments
and the mechanism was discussed. Small hydrogen blister in charged Ni-P amorphous …
