Liquid lead (Pb)-and lead–bismuth eutectic (LBE)-cooled fast neutron reactors (Gen-IV
LFRs) are one of the most technologically mature fission reactor technologies, due to their …

This review focuses on the comparison of the spark plasma sintering (SPS) with other
fabrication methods of MAX-phase materials. In the view of optimizing properties for …

Chemical complexity significantly affects structures and properties in materials, such as high-
entropy alloys and oxides. In this study, we firstly studied the radiation effects in high-entropy …

MAX phase materials exhibit both metal and ceramic properties due to their unique
laminated atomic structures, making them promising candidates in advanced nuclear energy …

For the structure materials applied in the innovative nuclear energy system, the strongly
environment radiation source is always a big concern which will severely degrade the …

This work addresses the early stages (≤ 1000 h) of the dissolution corrosion behavior of
316L and DIN 1.4970 austenitic stainless steels in contact with oxygen-poor (CO< 10− 8 …

Protective coatings of Zr-based claddings have been proposed for the development of
Accident Tolerant nuclear Fuel (ATF). Coatings forming stable oxides at high temperature …

The paper is devoted to the study of the influence of variation of zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2)
ceramics grain sizes on the resistance to radiation-induced swelling under irradiation with …

In this study, optical response, lithiation and charge transfer in existing M 2 SnC MAX
phases with electron localization function (ELF) were investigated for the first time using the …

M n+ 1 AX n phases exhibit unique laminated atomic structures that result in properties
typical of both ceramics and metals. Due to their unusual characteristics, these materials …
