Atom probe tomography (APT) provides three-dimensional compositional map** with sub-
nanometre resolution. The sensitivity of APT is in the range of parts per million for all …

All materials can suffer from environmental degradation; the rate and extent of degradation
depend on the details of the material composition and structure as well as the environment …

Abstract The Hanford site in Washington State houses~ 56 million gallons of radioactive
wastes stored in 177 underground tanks. The waste must be immobilized and permanently …

Silicate glasses are durable solids, and yet they are chemically unstable in contact with
aqueous fluids—this has important implications for numerous industrial applications related …

Silicate glasses are durable materials, but are they sufficiently durable to confine highly
radioactive wastes for hundreds of thousands years? Addressing this question requires a …

Radioactive waste vitrification has been carried out industrially in several countries for
nearly 40 years. Research into the formulation and long term behavior of high and …

Atom probe tomography (APT) is an analytical technique that provides quantitative three‐
dimensional elemental and isotopic analyses at sub‐nanometre resolution across the whole …

Chemical durability is not a single material property that can be uniquely measured. Instead,
it is the response to a host of coupled material and environmental processes whose rates …

Abstract International Simple Glass–a six oxide borosilicate glass selected by the
international nuclear glass community to improve the understanding of glass corrosion …

The cold emission of particles from surfaces under intense electric fields is a process which
underpins a variety of applications including atom probe tomography (APT), an analytical …
