A proposed method of calculating displacement dose rates
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple procedure is proposed for calculating the number of atomic displacements produced in a damage cascade by a primary knock-on atom of known energy, which is in close accord with recent computer simulations of radiation damage phenomena.

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.

Review of Deformation Mechanisms, Texture, and Mechanical Anisotropy in Zirconium and Zirconium Base Alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between deformation mechanisms and texture formation in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals is discussed and their dependencies on the metal-specific parameters of the hexagonal structure.

Dislocation energies in anisotropic crystals
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed calculation of the elastic energy of a straight dislocation in a cubic or hexagonal crystal, for various orientations in the crystal of the dislocation line and its Burgers vector, is made.

The Activation Energy of Dislocation Movement
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the thermodynamic quantities which enter into the rate equation for a dislocation moving by thermal activation under external and internal stresses is made, showing that back fluctuations are generally negligible.
