Prediction of material performance in fusion reactor environments relies on computational
modelling, and will continue to do so until the first generation of fusion power plants come on …

As both the design of material systems for nuclear energy applications and the number of
reactor designs being proposed increase the need for material models predicting the …

It has long been recognized from low-temperature defect production experiments and
molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of displacement events in metals that the surviving …

We report a series of ab initio studies based upon density functional theory for the behavior
of rhenium and osmium atoms in body-centered-cubic tungsten crystal. Contrary to the fast …

This paper introduces the KineCluE code that implements the self-consistent mean-field
theory for clusters of finite size. Transport coefficients are obtained as a sum over cluster …

The M4F project brings together the fusion and fission materials communities working on the
prediction of radiation damage production and evolution and their effects on the mechanical …

Ion irradiation and implantation have wide applications that demand accurate determination
of displacement damage profile and distribution of implanted ion concentration. The …

The change in surface damage/microstructures and its effects on the hydrogen (H)
isotope/helium (He) dynamic behavior are the key factors for investigating issues of tungsten …

Understanding the void swelling and phase evolution of reactor structural materials at very
high damage levels is essential to maintaining safety and longevity of components in Gen IV …

Tungsten is expected to be a promising plasma-facing material for future fusion devices, but
radiation-induced precipitation (RIP), which leads the material to hardening, is a concern at …
