We investigate the effect of neodymium and lanthanum on zirconia radiation shielding and
structural properties. To achieve this, new La/Nd-doped ZrO 2 nanomaterials were …

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are a key option to aid the worldwide net zero targets for
carbon emissions. Some pressurised water reactors aim to operate with a boron-free coolant …

Nano structured coating system demonstrates outstanding performance stemming from
unique structure evolution. Zr/Si coating was proposed as an ideal candidate for the …

This work focuses on understanding the oxygen-ion transport through the mixed Grain
Boundaries (GBs) present in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), a common solid oxide fuel cells …

Numerous industrial fields necessitate the development of advanced metallic materials
presenting high corrosion resistance in aqueous media and being less expensive than …

UO 2 fuel pellets are often doped with chromium oxide to obtain favourable properties such
as higher density, improved thermal stability, large grain sizes, improved pellet-clad …

Amorphous C-doped zirconia thin films grown by ALD technique on fused silica substrates
have high transmittance and significant photoluminescence (PL) capacity suitable for …

A physics-based model and the corresponding simulation framework for the mobile-ionic
field-effect transistor (MIFET) exhibiting the ferroelectric-like behaviors are innovatively …

Significant cost benefits through plant simplification can be achieved if a soluble boron-free
lithiated primary water chemistry can be demonstrated to be viable for small modular reactor …

An Ag particle interlayer was adopted to join YSZ to Al 2 O 3 ceramics in air directly. In
comparison with the traditional Ag-CuO braze used in our previous work, the Ag particle …
