The transition density $\rho_{t}$ and pressure $P_{t}$ at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of neutron stars are systematically studied using a modified Gogny (MDI) and 47 popular Skyrme interactions within well…
The layered structure of tetragonal Ni(CN)2, consisting of square-planar Ni(CN)4 units linked in the a-b plane, with no true periodicity along the c-axis, is expected to show anisotropic compression on the application of pressure.…
A central focus in high strain rate research is understanding the dynamic behavior of materials at strain rates where a strength upturn is observed. While strength upturns at strain rates of $10^3$ to $10^4~\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ have been widely…
Fusion and advanced fission power plants require advanced nuclear materials to function under new, extreme environments. Understanding the evolution of mechanical and functional properties during radiation damage is essential to the design…
Microscopic digital volume correlation (DVC) and finite element precoalescence strain evaluations are compared for two nodular cast iron specimens. Displacement fields from \textit{in-situ} 3D synchrotron laminography images are obtained by…
A polystyrene film spun onto polished silicon substrates was implanted with either nitrogen or argon ions using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) and subsequently investigated by X-ray and neutron reflectometry, UV-VIS and FTIR…
Changes in strain can be used to modify electronic and magnetic properties in crystal structures, to manipulate nanoparticles and cells, or to control chemical reactions. The magneto-elastic (ME) effect--the change of magnetic properties…
Energetic particle irradiation of solids can cause surface ultra-smoothening, self-organized nanoscale pattern formation, or degradation of the structural integrity of nuclear reactor components. Periodic patterns including high-aspect…
One of the challenges in fusion reactors is the discovery of plasma facing materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as radiation damage and high heat flux. Development of fusion materials can be a daunting task since vast…
