In this Article, I review the development of computer simulation techniques for studying
radiation effects in materials from 1946 until 2018. These developments were often closely …

The increasingly harsh environment of the nuclear reactors and the insurmountable flaws of
in-service materials have created an urgent need for the development of the brand-new …

Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) demonstrate significant promise as structural
materials for nuclear energy equipment owing to their exceptional mechanical properties …

In fusion reactor environment, helium bubble acts as a crucial inducement to the
performance degradation of plasma facing tungsten, leading to irradiation hardening and …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit outstanding radiation resistance over traditional alloys
owing to severe lattice distortion, and therefore, would be regarded as candidate materials …

Nanometric voids are one of the fundamental defects generated by neutron irradiation in
fusion environment, which impede dislocation motion and cause hardening of plasma facing …

Order strengthening in nickel-based superalloys is associated with the extra stress required
for dislocations to bypass the γ′ precipitates distributed in the γ matrix. Depending on the …

A new computational methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) Discrete Dislocation Dynamics
(DDD) in barrier-strengthened materials is developed. We couple the discrete 3D DDD …

Tungsten is considered as the plasma-facing material in the nuclear fusion device, which
has to withstand coupled irradiation, mechanical and thermal conditions. To guarantee the …

Nanoparticles are commonly used in various fields of applications such as electronics,
catalysis or engineering where they can be subjected to a certain amount of stress leading …
