A review of microstructure evolution in zirconium alloys during irradiation

TL;DR: In this article, anisotropic interstitial diffusion has been observed in ZrSn and ZrNb alloys at temperatures between about 573 and 873 K, at least for fluences up to 7 × 10 25 n m −2.

Point defect diffusion in α-Zr

TL;DR: In this article, a review of defects in α-Zr is concerned with atomic and vacancy diffusion and with solute effects on radiation damage, both in a general context and in terms of problems and features more specifically associated with αZr, including the anisotropic crystal structure, the limited temperature interval of α-phase stability, imposed by the α-β (hcp-bcc) transformation, and the tendency for Zr to have high residual impurity levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of irradiation growth of alpha-zirconium alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply new theoretical concepts to assist in understanding growth, e.g., the potential role of anisotropic diffusion in segregating point defects to different sinks and "negative" growth caused by the relaxation of intergranular constrains.

Irradiation creep and growth of zirconium alloys: A critical review

TL;DR: A review of the evolution in measurement methodologies (either from controlled experiments in materials test reactors or gauging of power reactor components) is described together with the results gleaned from such measurements.

Self-interstitial atoms in metals

TL;DR: The present state of knowledge and understanding of the properties of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) in metals is reviewed in this paper, with a discussion of the structure of SIAs and those properties which relate to structure such as relaxation volumes, elastic polarizabilities, defect vibrations, geometry of jump processes, and elastic interactions.
