Stability of irradiation-induced equilibrium cavities in terms of the swallowtail catastrophe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the Van der Waals equation of state to investigate the stability of irradiation-induced equilibrium cavities and show that the problem under consideration is controlled by a swallowtail catastrophe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferromagnetic effects on helium-vacancy complex formation in BCC Fe.

TL;DR: The substitution of helium atom inside BCC Fe results in lattice distortion, the resonance phonon modes, and the scattering center, enhancing the anharmonicity of phonon and magnon.

The influence of helium and heavy ion irradiations on radiation responses of single crystal Cu with nanovoids: An in situ TEM study

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed in situ heavy ion radiation studies in a transmission electron microscope to compare the radiation response of the preexisting nanovoids in single crystal copper subjected to a single beam of Kr ions and a sequential dual beam of 14 keV He ion and 1 MeV Kr ion at 350 °C.

Voids in Irradiated Stainless Steel

C. Cawthorne, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1967 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, electron microscope examination by the thin foil technique has been carried out on samples of stainless steel irradiated in the Dounreay Fast Reactor, either in the form of cladding on experimental fuel elements or as specimens intended for mechanical property tests.

Void Swelling in Metals and Alloys Under Irradiation: An Assessment of the Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of swelling is reviewed in terms of basic concepts and simulation and impurity effects, and the basic theory employs the formalism of chemical reaction rates, e.g., voids, dislocations, etc.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental effects of helium on cavity formation during irradiation—a review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of cavity formation and swelling in non-fissile materials during neutron irradiation and charged particle bombardments is presented, which is explainable in terms of cavity nucleation on submicroscopic critical size gas bubbles, and on the influence of the neutral sink strength of such bubbles.
Journal ArticleDOI

An improved equation of state for inert gases at high pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, a hard sphere equation of state is developed in order to describe inert gas behaviour at high temperatures and/or pressures, and the use of the hard sphere EOS in modelling fission gas behaviour during a thermal transient is shown to be a more robust estimator of the fissure gas pressure in bubbles than the reduced van der Waals EOS.

Fission-fusion correlations for swelling and microstructure in stainless steels: Effect of the helium to displacement per atom ratio

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the helium to displacement per atom ratio on microstructural evolution, with emphasis on austenitic stainless steels, were analyzed to determine mechanistic trends and a model calibrated to the fission reactor data was used to extrapolate to fusion conditions.
