Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

Ion beams are indispensible for understanding radiation effects in materials, enabling
access to conditions challenging to perform with neutrons. However, ion irradiations can …

This paper is the first of three that overview the main mechanisms that drive the
microstructure evolution in Fe alloys under irradiation. It focuses on pure α-Fe and compiles …

Simulating collision cascades and radiation damage poses a long-standing challenge for
existing interatomic potentials, both in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Machine-learning …

A key question in materials science is how fast properties evolve, which relates to the
kinetics of phase transformations. In metals, kinetics is primarily connected to diffusion …

Most experimental work on radiation damage is performed to fairly high doses, where
cascade overlap effects come into play, yet atomistic simulations of the primary radiation …

The radiation-induced primary dislocation loops in thin foils of ultra-high purity Fe and Fe
(Cr) model alloys were investigated using ion irradiation in situ in a TEM. In the '111 …

Two types of dislocation loops are observed in irradiated α-Fe, the 1/2< 111> loop and the<
100> loop. Atomistic simulations consistently predict that only the energetically more …

To evaluate the potential of high entropy alloys (HEAs) for nuclear applications, two HEAs,
Al 0.3 CoCrFeNi and CoCrFeMnNi, and a conventional Type 316H stainless steel (SS) were …

The attractive mechanical properties and superior resistance to void-swelling make
ferritic/martensitic alloys a promising structural material for advanced nuclear reactors …
