This paper melds an overview of the history of Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) embrittlement
research, focusing on predicting ductile-to-brittle transition temperature shifts (ΔT), along …

The subject of radiation-induced solute segregation (RIS) in metallic alloys is reviewed. RIS
manifests itself in several different ways, including diffusion to point-defect sinks …

We investigate the structure and mobility of single self-interstitial atom and vacancy defects
in body-centered-cubic transition metals forming groups 5B (vanadium, niobium, and …

The noble gases have a particularly stable electronic configuration, comprising fully filled s
and p valence orbitals. This makes these elements relatively non-reactive, and they exist at …

We report a detailed ab initio study of the stability and migration of self-interstitial atoms
(SIAs) and di-interstitials (di-SIAs) in α-Fe. The⟨ 110⟩ dumbbell is confirmed to be the most …

Recent progress in the use of molecular dynamics (MD) to investigate the primary state of
damage due to displacement cascades in metals is reviewed, with particular emphasis on …

The physical processes that give rise to changes in the microstructure, and the physical and
mechanical properties of materials exposed to energetic particles are initiated by essentially …

The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels used in current nuclear power plants embrittle as a
consequence of the continuous irradiation with neutrons. Among other radiation effects, the …

The irradiation of metals by energetic particles causes significant degradation of the
mechanical properties,, most notably an increased yield stress and decreased ductility, often …

Primary defect formation in bee iron has been extensively investigated using the methods of
molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. This research has employed a …
