Excellent irradiation resistance is the basic property of nuclear materials to keep nuclear
safety. The high-entropy design has great potential to improve the irradiation resistance of …

Cavity swelling, due to three-dimensional clustering of vacancies, is an undesirable isotropic
volume expansion of materials under irradiation. This phenomenon occurs above stage-III …

Composite ceramics show great potential for utilization in nuclear systems. However, the
component phases therein may exhibit large variations in structural response to the ion …

In this study, we employ transmission electron microscope (TEM) to analyze radiation
defects in helium (He) and krypton (Kr) ions implanted bulk and thin-foil tungsten. For bulk …

Titanium carbide (TiC) is an ultra-high temperature ceramic with potential as a structural
material candidate for advanced reactor concepts. However, the irradiation tolerance of TiC …

This study reports the response of helium (He) ion irradiation on binary-phase structured
alloy V 34 Ti 25 Cr 10 Ni 30 Pd 1. The alloy consists of a VCr matrix with nano-sized TiNi …

The microstructural evolution was characterized for ZrC ceramics irradiated with 10 MeV Au
3+ ions at 800° C. Post-irradiation examination showed that ZrC did not amorphize at doses …

As an important irradiation defect, the behavior of helium (He) bubble is very important to
understand the mechanical properties of irradiated metals. In this work, the coalescence …

This work investigates the deformation and dynamic property of the pre-existing void or
helium (He) bubble in aluminum (Al) under compression and tension with molecular …

As a major product of nuclear radiation damage, high-pressure He bubble is a potentially
important factor affecting the constitutive response and the damage dynamics of the matrix …
