Materials subjected to high dose irradiation by energetic particles often experience severe
damage in the form of drastic increase of defect density, and significant degradation of their …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

Materials capable of sustaining high radiation doses at a high temperature are required for
next-generation fission and future fusion energy. To date, however, even the most promising …

The mechanical behavior of nanolaminates is dominated by interfaces that act as sources,
barriers, and preferred sites for storage and dynamic recovery of glide dislocations. In this …

Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding
properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their …

The accumulation of defects and in particular He bubbles, can have significant implications
for the performance of materials exposed to the plasma in magnetic-confinement nuclear …

Tailoring interfaces is a powerful way of reducing the accumulation of radiation defects.
Understanding strain evolution induced by ion bombardment in nuclear materials with high …

Helium (He) bubbles are typical radiation defects in structural materials in nuclear reactors
after high dose energetic particle irradiation. In the past decades, extensive studies have …

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 …

A very broad distribution of microstructural length scales spanning few nm-to the μm-scale
has proven effective to achieve exceptional materials properties. Here, we fabricate a Cu/Nb …
