A review of recent efforts in computational modeling of W both as a plasmafacing material exposed to He deposition as well as a bulk material subjected to fast neutron irradiation is provided in this article.Abstract:
Under the anticipated operating conditions for demonstration magnetic fusion reactors beyond ITER, structural and plasma facing materials will be exposed to unprecedented conditions of irradiation, heat flux, and temperature. While such extreme environments remain inaccessible experimentally, computational modeling and simulation can provide qualitative and quantitative insights into materials response and complement the available experimental measurements with carefully validated predictions. For plasma facing components such as the first wall and the divertor, tungsten (W) has been selected as the leading candidate material due to its superior hightemperature and irradiation properties, as well as for its low retention of implanted tritium. In this paper we provide a review of recent efforts in computational modeling of W both as a plasmafacing material exposed to He deposition as well as a bulk material subjected to fast neutron irradiation. We use a multiscale modeling approach –commonly used as the materials modeling paradigm– to define the outline of the paper and highlight recent advances using several classes of techniques and their interconnection. We highlight several of the most salient findings obtained via computational modeling and point out a number of remaining challenges and future research directions.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the extensive experimental and computer simulation studies that have been performed over the past several decades on what the nature of the primary damage is, and provide alternatives to the current international standard for quantifying this energetic particle damage, the Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom (NRT-dpa) model for metals.

Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism.
TL;DR: Novel features are that the pseudopotential itself becomes charge-state dependent, the usual norm-conservation constraint does not apply, and a generalized eigenproblem is introduced.

A climbing image nudged elastic band method for finding saddle points and minimum energy paths
TL;DR: In this article, a modification of the nudged elastic band method for finding minimum energy paths is presented, where one of the images is made to climb up along the elastic band to converge rigorously on the highest saddle point.
