Grain Boundary Anisotropy and Its Influence on Helium Bubble Nucleation, Growth, and Decohesion in Polycrystalline Iron
Yang Zhang, Peter Hatton, Blas P. Uberuaga +1
The accumulation of helium bubbles at grain boundaries (GBs) critically degrades the mechanical integrity of structural materials in nuclear reactors. While GBs act as sinks for ra…
The Role of Temperature on Irradiation Defect Evolution near Surfaces and Grain Boundaries in Tungsten
Yang Zhang, Jason R. Trelewicz
This study explores the impact of temperature on defect dynamics in tungsten, emphasizing its application in nuclear fusion reactors as Plasma Facing Components (PFCs). Through ato…
Primary Defect Production in Doped Iron Grain Boundaries during Low Energy Collision Cascades
Yang Zhang, Blas P. Uberuaga, Enrique Martinez Saez +1
This study explores the intricate interactions between grain boundaries (GBs) and irradiation-induced defects in nanocrystalline iron, highlighting the role of dopants like copper.…
Role of Helium Bubbles and Voids on the Property of Nanocrystalline Tungsten
Yang Zhang, Jason Trelewicz
This manuscript embarks on an inquiry into the influence of helium implantation on nanocrystalline tungsten, a contender for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion react…
Grain Boundary Defect Production during Successive Displacement Cascades on a Tungsten Surface
Yang Zhang, Anus Manzoor, Predrag Krstic +2
The interaction of radiation defects with grain boundaries (GBs) governs damage tolerance in refractory materials for extreme environments. Tungsten (W), a leading plasma-facing ma…
