The pattern of radiation energy deposition in substances at the microscopic level of lattice, molecule size, or the cell's nucleus is not uniform. The energy of radiation is transferred to the substance medium in the form of discrete,…
Thermal recovery of irradiated uranium dioxide lattice have been investigated by experimental groups and defects related to each recovery stages are estimated based on the indirect observations like activation energies. In this study,…
We study nuclear and neutron matter by combining chiral effective field theory with non-perturbative lattice methods. In our approach nucleons and pions are treated as point particles on a lattice. This allows us to probe larger volumes,…
Graphite, as a material for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR), will be exposed to harsh environment. The stability of graphite structure under irradiation is of a key importance for efficiency, reliability and security of the…
Neutrino-electron scatterings are purely leptonic processes with robust Standard Model (SM) predictions. Their measurements can therefore provide constraints to physics beyond SM. The $\nuebar$-e data taken at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino…
SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_x$ was irradiated in a fission reactor to a fast (E > 0.1 MeV) neutron fluence of 4x10^${21}$ m$^{-2}$. The introduced defects increase the normal state resistivity due to a reduction in the mean free path of the charge…
The Mu2e calorimeter is composed by 1400 un-doped CsI crystals coupled to large area UV extended Silicon Photomultipliers arranged in two annular disks. This calorimeter has to provide precise information on energy, timing and position. It…
The effect of atomic disorder induced by neutron irradiation on the crystal structure and electronic states near $E_F$ of the lightly overdoped LaFeAsO$_{0.85}$F$_{0.15}$ ($T_c=21K$) was studied by X-ray diffraction and $^{75}$As NMR. The…
Lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of the oxides UO2 and Li2O in their normal as well as superionic phase are reported. Lattice dynamics calculations have been carried out using a shell model in the quasiharmonic approximation.…
General Fusion is building the Fusion Demonstration Plant to demonstrate a magnetized target fusion scheme in which a deuterium plasma is heated from 200 eV to 10 keV by piston-driven compression of a liquid-lithium liner. The multilayer…
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…
For the first time an analytic expression was obtained for the inelastic neutron scattering law with an isotropic neutron source within the gas model, considering moderating medium temperature as a parameter. The inelastic scattering law is…
Neutron diffraction technique was used to study distribution of Co and Cr atoms over different lattice sites as well as lattice paramaters in sigma-phase Co100-xCrx compounds with x = 57.0, 62.7 and 65.8. From the diffractograms recorded in…
A possiblity of measuring the cosmic neutrino temperature $\sim 1.9 K$ and other important quantities such as the chemical potential $\mu$ and the decoupling temperature $T_d$ is discussed, using the recently proposed process of photon…
Developing a comprehensive understanding of the modification of material properties by neutron irradiation is important for the design of future fission and fusion power reactors. Self-ion implantation is commonly used to mimic neutron…
Neutron irradiation progressively changes the properties of zirconium alloys: they harden and their average c/a lattice parameter ratio decreases with fluence. The bombardment by neutrons produces point defects, which evolve into…
It is shown that above the temperature of maximum abundance, recombination rates into the excited states of He-like ions that are calculated using earlier, more approximate methods differ markedly from rates obtained from recent…
We have performed ab-initio lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics studies of Li2X (X=O, S and Se) to understand the ionic conduction in these compounds. The inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Li2O have been performed across its…
Cr2AlC materials were irradiated with 7 MeV Xe26+ ions and 500 keV He2+ ions at room temperature. A structural transition with an increased c lattice parameter and a decreased a lattice parameter occurs after irradiation to doses above 1…
Transition metals implanted in single crystal MgO can precipitate out at grain boundaries or remain embedded in bulk. Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory we have calculated the thermodynamic stability and…
