Radiation tolerance of nanocrystalline ceramics: insights from Yttria Stabilized Zirconia.

Scientific reports

Dey S, Drazin JW, Wang Y, Valdez JA, Holesinger TG, Uberuaga BP, Castro RH.
PMID: 25582769
Sci Rep. 2015 Jan 13;5:7746. doi: 10.1038/srep07746.

Materials for applications in hostile environments, such as nuclear reactors or radioactive waste immobilization, require extremely high resistance to radiation damage, such as resistance to amorphization or volume swelling. Nanocrystalline materials have been reported to present exceptionally high radiation-tolerance...

Sci Rep. 2017 May 30;7(1):2522. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-02428-2.

Tungsten is a promising plasma facing material for fusion reactors. Despite many favorable properties, helium ions incoming from the plasma are known to dramatically affect the microstructure of tungsten, leading to bubble growth, blistering, and/or to the formation of...

Opposite correlations between cation disordering and amorphization resistance in spinels versus pyrochlores.

Understanding and predicting radiation damage evolution in complex materials is crucial for developing next-generation nuclear energy sources. Here, using a combination of ion beam irradiation, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, we show that, contrary to the behaviour observed...

Vacancy formation and strain in low-temperature Cu/Cu(100) growth.

Physical review letters

Shim Y, Borovikov V, Uberuaga BP, Voter AF, Amar JG.
PMID: 18851301
Phys Rev Lett. 2008 Sep 12;101(11):116101. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.116101. Epub 2008 Sep 11.

The development of compressive strain in metal thin films grown at low temperature has recently been revealed via x-ray diffraction and explained by the assumption that a large number of vacancies were incorporated into the growing films. The results...

Stability and migration of large oxygen clusters in UO(2+x): density functional theory calculations.

The Journal of chemical physics

Andersson DA, Espinosa-Faller FJ, Uberuaga BP, Conradson SD.
PMID: 22779610
J Chem Phys. 2012 Jun 21;136(23):234702. doi: 10.1063/1.4729842.

Using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and nudged elastic band calculations we examine the finite temperature stability, transition pathways, and migration mechanisms of large oxygen clusters in UO(2+x). Here we specifically consider the recently proposed split quad-interstitial and cuboctahedral...

On the mobility of carriers at semi-coherent oxide heterointerfaces.
