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…
