Further development of nuclear power plant technology relies heavily on materials durability under operating conditions. Estimating the materials performance in the operando tests is crucial. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of thin…

The dynamics of steps on crystal surfaces is considered. In general, the meandering of the steps obeys a subdiffusive behaviour. The characteristic asymptotic time laws depend on the microscopic mechanism for detachment and attachment of…
