Abstract Cr-coated Optimized ZIRLO™ cladding material fabricated with the cold-spray
deposition process is studied. Microstructure and chemistry of this material are investigated …

In this study, APT and TEM analyses were used to characterise two Zr-based alloys neutron-
irradiated to 13.7 dpa. The high spatial and chemical resolution of these techniques has …

Room temperature focused ion beam (FIB) milling is known to potentially promote the
formation of hydrides in zirconium and its alloys. We used atom probe tomography (APT) to …

This work indicates that the matrix content of the alloying elements iron, chromium, and
nickel in as-produced commercial Zircaloy-2-type materials is lower than what has been …

This study investigated the irradiation-induced microstructure evolution in Fe, employing the
Creation-Relaxation Algorithm and different interatomic potentials. The influence of self …

Atom probe tomography was used in this work to study the metal close to the metal/oxide
interface in the zirconium alloy Zircaloy-2 exposed to three and nine annual cycles of …

In the present study, atom probe tomography was used to investigate the relationship
between the distribution of Fe and other alloying elements and irradiation defects in …

High hydrogen pickup (HPU) and large scatter on HPU at high burnup/high exposure times
is observed for Zircaloy-2 (Zr-2), which is used as fuel cladding, fuel channels, water rods …

This work reports atomic-scale experimental and modeling studies of the zirconium oxide
microstructure formed at the metal-oxide (M/O) interface, and the crystallography as well as …

High-burnup Zr-based nuclear fuel claddings exhibit accelerated irradiation growth,
corrosion and hydrogen pick-up, all correlated with the emergence of c-component …
