Cross-sectional helium irradiation reveals interface-controlled bubble evolution in Cr/CrAlSiN multilayer coatings on zirconium alloys
Renda Wang, Xue Bai, Xueliang Pei +9
The irradiation stability of Cr based protective coatings on zirconium alloys is critical for the development of accident-tolerant fuel claddings. However, conventional surface irr…
Nanoscale Strain Evolution and Grain Boundary-Mediated Defect Sink Behavior in Irradiated SiC: Insights from N-PED and DFT
Nabil Daghbouj, Ahmed. T. AlMotasem, Jan. DuchoÅb +7
Understanding irradiation-induced strain in silicon carbide (SiC) is essential for designing radiation-tolerant ceramic materials. However, conventional methods often fail to resol…
Asymmetrical Defect Sink Behaviour of HCP/BCC Zr/Nb Multilayer Interfaces: Bubble-Denuded Zones at Nb Layers
Nabil. Daghbouj, H. S. Sen, Mohamed BenSalem +11
Radiation induced helium bubble formation poses a major challenge to the structural integrity of materials in nuclear energy systems. In this study, we investigate defect evolution…
A comparative nanotribological investigation on amorphous and polycrystalline forms of MoS2
Hesam Khaksar, Prashant Mittal, Nabil Daghbouj +3
The wear behavior of two amorphous and polycrystalline forms of MoS2 prepared by magnetron sputtering has been characterized in a combined nanoindentation and atomic force microsco…
