Anisotropic diffusion of radiation-induced self-interstitial clusters in HCP zirconium: a molecular dynamics and rate-theory assessment

Amir Ghorbani, Yu Luo, Peyman Saidi +1

Under irradiation, Zr and Zr alloys undergo growth in the absence of applied stress. This phenomenon is thought to be associated with the anisotropy of diffusion of either or both…
