This study uses the stir-casting technique to combine a semi-solid AA2024 alloy directly with
finely-sized β-SiC p embedded as a powder or with mechanically alloyed granules as a …

Metal–graphene nanocomposites are expected to have excellent radiation tolerance, and
may become a candidate structural material for advanced fission reactors. Nevertheless …

Developing long-lifetime bulk-form ceramic-based materials with high irradiation resistance
is crucial for advanced nuclear systems. Here, we incorporated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) …

The development of sophisticated interatomic potentials for classical molecular dynamics
and Monte Carlo simulations has several advantages, but also some drawbacks. One of …

With extra space, a carbon nanotube (CNT) could serve as an absorber of point defects,
including helium interstitials, and outgas the accumulate helium via “nano-chimneys”. The …

Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) for nuclear fusion, either in inertial confinement fusion (ICF)
or in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) approaches, must withstand extremely hostile …

Nanostructured materials with abundant defect sinks show good radiation tolerance due to
their efficient absorption of irradiation-induced interstitials and vacancies. However, the poor …

Metal–graphene (Gr) nanocomposites are regarded as potential anti-irradiation advanced
materials for Gen-IV nuclear reactors. In this work, a phase-field model was proposed to …

Improving the storage capacity of helium atoms in irradiation-resistant materials is a problem
worthy of research. In the present study, the helium atoms storage capacity of nanopore …

We studied the soft landing of Ni atoms on a previously damaged graphene sheet by means
of molecular dynamics simulations. We found a monotonic decrease of the cluster frequency …
