Conventional oxide dispersion strengthened steels are characterized by thermally stable,
high density of Y–Ti–O nanoclusters which are responsible for their high creep strength. Ti …

The formation of oxide nanoclusters in oxide dispersion strengthened steels is controlled by
the diffusion of yttrium. Yttrium atoms and other oversized solutes show a high binding …

Oxide-dispersion strengthened materials are important candidates for several high-
temperature structural applications in advanced nuclear power plants. Most of the desirable …

First-principles energetics analyses were performed to investigate the nucleation of (Y–Si–
O) nano-clusters (NCs) in nano-structured ferritic alloys (NFAs). It was predicted that the …

The high creep strength and high radiation resistance of nanostructured ferritic alloys (NFAs)
have been generally attributed to the high-density precipitation of (O, Y)-core nano-clusters …

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is an advanced consolidation technique, which particularly
allows coarsening of the microstructure to be limited. The basis for the characteristics of the …

A combination of density functional theory (DFT) and an efficient calculation method based
on atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo simulations (AKMC) is used to investigate the …

An interatomic potential for iron-yttrium is presented that allows to investigate the diffusion of
yttrium in iron. The potential provides a complete description of the elastic and thermal …

Although many processes of nanostructure evolution in solids occur at elevated
temperatures, basic data obtained from ground state energetics are used in the modeling of …

High density of thermally stable Y-Si-O nanoparticles dispersed in the Fe matrix play a
primary role in oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steel. In this study, the binding energies …
