Intense γ-photon and high-energy electron production by neutron irradiation: effects of nuclear excitations on reactor materials

Luca Reali, Mark R. Gilbert, Max Boleininger +1

The effects of neutron irradiation on materials are often interpreted in terms of atomic recoils, initiated by neutron impacts and producing crystal lattice defects. In addition, t…

Macroscopic elastic stress and strain produced by irradiation

Luca Reali, Max Boleininger, Mark R. Gilbert +1

Using the notion of eigenstrain produced by the defects formed in a material exposed to high energy neutron irradiation, we develop a method for computing macroscopic elastic stres…

Energy spectra of primary knock-on atoms under neutron irradiation

Mark R. Gilbert, Jaime Marian, Jean-Christophe Sublet

Materials subjected to neutron irradiation will suffer from a build-up of damage caused by the displacement cascades initiated by nuclear reactions. Previously, the main "measure"…

Spatial ordering of nano-dislocation loops in ion-irradiated materials

S. L. Dudarev, K. Arakawa, X. Yi +4

Defect microstructures formed in ion-irradiated metals, for example iron or tungsten, often exhibit patterns of spatially ordered nano-scale dislocation loops. We show that such or…

Recent integral cross section validation measurements at the ASP facility

L. W. Packer, S. Hughes, M. Gilbert +2

This work presents new integral data measured at the ASP 14 MeV neutron irradiation facility at Aldermaston in the UK, which has recently become available for fusion-related work t…
