In this paper we examine an alternative method for determining the neutron multiplication factor keff in fast subcritical reactors, based on the observable obtained by calculating the ratio between the ``fast`` component of the neutron flux…

The determination of the fraction of energy deposited in the coolant is required for the setup of accurate thermal-hydraulic calculations in reactor core analysis. This study focuses on assessing this fraction and analysing the neutronic…

A thermal soft X-ray component is often detected in low-level accreting neutron stars (NSs), but is not detected in low-level accreting stellar-mass black holes (BHs). In this paper, we investigate the origin of such a thermal soft X-ray…

The electronic excitation occurring on adsorbates at ultrafast time scales from optical lasers that initiate surface chemical reactions is still an open question. Here, we report the ultrafast temporal evolution of X-ray absorption…

Materials used in nuclear reactors are constantly exposed to the effects of neutron irradiation, which leads to changes in their mechanical properties. In particular, the steels employed in reactor pressure vessels experience a reduction in…

Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) enable new opportunities to design compact heat exchangers (cHEXs) by leveraging flexible geometries to improve energy and material efficiency. However, it is well known that reducing size in…

The combination of isochoric heating of solids by free electron lasers (FEL) and in situ diagnostics by X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) allows for measurements of material properties at warm dense matter (WDM) conditions relevant for…

The recent pioneering campaigns conducted by the Lead Radius Experiment (PREX) and the Calcium Radius Experiment (CREX) collaborations have uncovered major deficiencies in the theoretical description of some fundamental properties of atomic…

Deciding on appropriate materials and designs for use in light sails, like the one proposed in the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, is a topic that requires much care and forethought. Here, we offer a feasible option in the form of…

Obscured AGNs provide an opportunity to study the material surrounding the central engine. Geometric and physical constraints on the absorber can be deduced from the reprocessed AGN emission. In particular, the obscuring gas may reprocess…

Time-dependent and constituent-specific spectral changes in soft near edge X-ray spectroscopy (XAS) of an [Fe/MgO]$_8$ metal/insulator heterostructure upon laser excitation are analyzed at the O K-edge with picosecond time resolution. The…

In this talk we present applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to strongly coupled systems at finite temperature and particle density. The model we investigate contains adjoint matter described by the gauge multiplet of N=4, as well as…

Tritium permeation into and through materials poses a critical challenge for the development of nuclear fusion reactors. Minimizing tritium permeation is essential for the safe and efficient use of available fuel supplies. In this work, we…

In this paper we study the thermal effective behaviour for 3D multiphase composite material consisting of three isotropic phases which are the matrix, the inclusions and the coating media. For this purpose we use an accelerated FFT-based…

Reduced models for approximating the impact of kinetic electron behavior on the transport of thermal energy and magnetic field are investigated. The thermal flux limiter has improved agreement with Vlasov-Fokker-Planck data when a harmonic…

In the broad line region of AGN, acceleration occurs naturally when a cloud condenses out of the hot confining medium due to the increase in line opacity as the cloud cools. However, acceleration by radiation pressure is not very efficient…

Recent advances using Density Functional Theory (DFT) to augment Multiplet Ligand Field Theory (MLFT) have led to ab-initio calculations of many formerly empirical parameters. This development makes MLFT more predictive instead of…

In our previous publication, we discussed the optical properties of multi-layered nanocomposite samples consisting of 300 pairs of an AlOx layer and a Cu layer produced from sputtering atomic layer augmented deposition (SALAD). These…

We have studied the physics of transition-edge sensor (TES) devices with an insulating AlOx layer on top of the device to allow implementation of more complex detector geometries. By comparing devices with and without the insulating film,…

Over the last decade {\it ab initio} modeling of material properties has become widespread in diverse fields of research. It has proved to be a powerful tool for predicting various properties of matter under extreme conditions. We apply…
