Effect of Sn on generalized stacking fault energy surfaces in zirconium and its hydrides

P. Chakraborty, I. Mouton, B. Gault +3

Hydrogen embrittlement in Zr alloy fuel cladding is a primary safety concern for water based nuclear reactors. Here we investigated the stabilisation of planar defects within the f…

Three-dimensional atomically-resolved analytical imaging with a field ion microscope

Shyam Katnagallu, Felipe Felipe F. Morgado, Isabelle Mouton +2

Atom probe tomography (APT) helps elucidate the link between the nanoscale chemical variations and physical properties, but it has limited structural resolution. Field ion microsco…

Hydride growth mechanism in Zircaloy-4: investigation of the partitioning of alloying elements

Isabelle Mouton, Yanhong Chang, Poulami Chakraborty +4

The long-term safety of water-based nuclear reactors relies in part on the reliability of zirconium-based nuclear fuel. Yet the progressive ingress of hydrogen during service makes…

Imaging individual solute atoms at crystalline imperfections in metals

Shyam Katnagallu, Leigh T. Stephenson, Isabelle Mouton +11

Directly imaging all atoms constituting a material and, maybe more importantly, crystalline defects that dictate materials' properties, remains a formidable challenge. Here, we pro…

Atomic-scale investigation of hydrogen distribution in a Ti-Mo alloy

Fengkai Yan, Isabelle Mouton, Leigh T. Stephenson +5

Ingress of hydrogen is often linked to catastrophic failure of Ti-alloys. Here, we quantify the hydrogen distribution in fully \b{eta} and α+\b{eta} Ti-Mo alloys by using atom prob…

Electrical and Optical Properties of Heavily Ge-Doped AlGaN

R. Blasco, A. Ajay, E. Robin +7

We report the effect of germanium as n-type dopant on the electrical and optical properties of AlxGa1-xN layers grown by plasma assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. The Al content has…

Quantification challenges for atom probe tomography of hydrogen and deuterium in Zircaloy-4

Isabelle Mouton, Andrew J. Breen, Siyang Wang +8

Analysis and understanding of the role of hydrogen in metals is a significant challenge for the future of materials science, and this is a clear objective of recent work in the ato…

Atomic scale analysis of grain boundary deuteride growth front in Zircaloy-4

A. J. Breen, I. Mouton, W. Lu +11

Zircaloy-4 (Zr-1.5%Sn-0.2%Fe-0.1%Cr wt. %) was electrochemically charged with deuterium to create deuterides and subsequently analysed with atom probe tomography and scanning trans…

The Laplace project: an integrated suite for correlative atom probe tomography and electron microscopy under cryogenic and UHV conditions

Leigh T. Stephenson, Agnieszka Szczepaniak, Isabelle Mouton +13

We present sample transfer instrumentation and integrated protocols for the preparation and correlative characterization of environmentally-sensitive materials by both atom probe t…
