Silicon carbide has enjoyed both fundamental study and practical application since the early
days of nuclear materials science. In the past decade, with the increased interest in …

A major problem with most of the present nuclear reactors is their safety in terms of the
release of radioactivity into the environment during accidents. In some of the future nuclear …

Radiation-induced segregation is well known in metals, but has been rarely studied in
ceramics. We discover that radiation can induce notable segregation of one of the …

Tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particles are under consideration for use in several proposed
advanced nuclear reactor concepts. The silicon carbide (SiC) layer in TRISO acts as a …

We present a density functional theory (DFT) framework taking into account the finite
temperature effects to quantitatively understand and predict charged defect equilibria in a …

Microstructure of radiation-induced Iron phases were investigated in a 6H-SiC subjected to
Iron and Helium bombardment with a damage level of 8 dpa. The microstructural evolution …

SiC is considered a perspective material in advanced nuclear systems as well as for
electronic or spintronic applications, which require an ion implantation process. In this …

Distribution of black spot defects and small clusters in 1 MeV krypton irradiated 3C-SiC has
been investigated using advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and …

We investigate the effect of the electronic stopping power on defect production due to ion
irradiation of cubic silicon carbide using molecular dynamics simulations. We simulate 20 …

Evidence of the release of certain metallic fission products through intact tristructural
isotropic (TRISO) particles has been seen for decades around the world, as well as in the …
