Interfaces including grain boundaries and hetero‐phase interfaces could withstand the
radiation damage via providing sites for trapping the defects. With the urgent demand for …

Nanocrystalline materials have been proposed as superior radiation tolerant materials in
comparison to coarse grain counterparts. However, there is still a limited understanding …

Nano-crystalline metals (NCs) exhibit radiation-tolerance due to the sink of grain boundaries
(GBs) for radiation-induced defects such as self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and vacancies (Vs) …

Cerium dioxide (CeO 2) is widely used as a surrogate fuel for uranium dioxide (UO 2)
because of their same cubic fluorite crystal structure, nearly identical lattice parameters and …

Noble gases are generated within solids in nuclear environments and coalesce to form gas
stabilized voids or cavities. Ion implantation has become a prevalent technique for probing …

The incorporation of nanostructured and amorphous metals into modern applications is
reliant on the understanding of deformation and failure modes in constrained conditions. To …

Abstract High temperature (550° C) He ions irradiation was performed on nanostructured
(NS) and coarsen-grained (CG) reduced activation steel to investigate the effects of …

The effect of post-irradiation annealing on the microstructures and mechanical properties of
V-4Cr-4Ti alloys was studied. Helium-hydrogen-irradiated sequentially V-4Cr-4Ti alloys at …

We discuss the need to understand materials exposed to overlapping extreme environments
such as high temperature, radiation, or mechanical stress. When these stressors are …

Monitoring materials evolution in extreme environments using in-situ techniques allows for
increased insight into the active mechanisms behind materials transformations and an …
