Radiation damage tolerant nanomaterials
Irene J. Beyerlein,Alfredo Caro,Michael J. Demkowicz,Nathan A. Mara,Amit Misra,Blas P. Uberuaga +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach for processing bulk nanocomposites containing interfaces that are stable under irradiation, which is the key factor in reducing the damage and imparting stability in certain nanomaterials under conditions where bulk materials exhibit void swelling and/or embrittlement.

TEM and HRTEM study of oxide particles in an Al-alloyed high-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened steel with Zr addition
Peng Dou,Akihiko Kimura,Ryuta Kasada,Takanari Okuda,Masaki Inoue,Shigeharu Ukai,Somei Ohnuki,Toshiharu Fujisawa,Fujio Abe +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the nanoparticles in an Al-alloyed high-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel with Hf addition, i.e., SOC-16 (Fe-15Cr-2W- 0.62Hf-0.35Y2O3), have been examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hardening of self ion implanted tungsten and tungsten 5-wt% rhenium
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used nanoindentation to measure the change in hardness as a function of six damage levels (0, dpa, 0.07, 0.4, 1.2, 13,dpa, and 33 dpa).

Polymorphic and coherency transition of Y-Al complex oxide particles with extrusion temperature in an Al-alloyed high-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel
Peng Dou,Akihiko Kimura,Takanari Okuda,Masaki Inoue,Shigeharu Ukai,Somei Ohnuki,Toshiharu Fujisawa,Fujio Abe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase and metal/oxide interface structure of the nanometer-scale particles in an Al-alloyed high-Cr oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel extruded at 1150°C and 1050°C were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and diffraction contrast techniques.

Structural materials issues for the next generation fission reactors
I. Chant,Korukonda L. Murty +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the material requirements for these advanced fission reactor types, specifically addressing structural materials issues depending on the specific application areas, are addressed, and the structural materials need to endure much higher temperatures, higher neutron doses, and extremely corrosive environments, which are beyond the experience of current nuclear power plants.
