Journal ArticleDOI
Ion irradiation enhances the mechanical performance of metallic glasses
Rejin Raghavan,Kombaiah Boopathy,Kombaiah Boopathy,Rudy Ghisleni,Manuel A. Pouchon,Upadrasta Ramamurty,Johann Michler +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that irradiation may enhance the plasticity in metallic glasses by increasing the free volume content via micropillar compression experiments on an ion-irradiated bulk metallic glass (BMG).
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of simulated inert matrix fuel with different powders by dry milling method
Young-Woo Lee,Han Soo Kim,Si-Hyung Kim,Chang-Young Joung,Sang Ho Na,G. Ledergerber,Peter Heimgartner,Manuel A. Pouchon,M. Burghartz +8 more
TL;DR: Simulated zirconium oxide-based inert matrix fuel (IMF) has been prepared using cerium oxide replacing plutonium oxide, following the conventional pelletising route, in which an improved two-stage attrition mill was employed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific heat capacity and Debye temperature of zirconia and its solid solution
TL;DR: In this article, the extended Dulong and Petit law in Neumann-Kopp rule is verified for zirconia and quaternary compounds using Debye theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inert matrix fuel for the utilisation of plutonium
TL;DR: In this paper, a single phase zirconium/erbium/plutonium oxide material stabilised as a cubic solution by yttrium for plutonium and minor actinide incineration and transmutation has been shown to be feasible for the disposition of the large amount of excess plutonium produced in today's power reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zirconium nitride as inert matrix for fast systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the direct coagulation casting process was used to shape mixed plutonium zirconium nitride annular pellets and Gibbs energy calculations were used to optimise the thermal treatment of carborthermic reduction to yield mixed nitride powders.
