The influence of nitrogen on the oxidation behavior of hot-pressed zirconium carbide was investigated using a flow-tube furnace at temperatures ranging from 1000 to 1600 {\deg}C. Mass gain, oxide formation characteristics, and oxide…
This paper deals with the comparison between thermal and Fission Enhanced Diffusion (FED) of uranium into zirconia, representative of the inner face of cladding tubes. The experiments under irradiation are performed at the Institut Laue…
Sintered samples of monoclinic zirconia (alpha-ZrO2) have been irradiated at room temperature with 6.0-GeV Pb ions in the electronic slowing down regime. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and micro-Raman spectroscopy measurements showed unambiguously…
The present study deals with oxidation behavior under residual stress of shot-peened plates of "commercially pure" zirconium exposed for 30 min at 650 C. The influence of the shot-peening on a pre-oxidized material is presented. The results…
Zirconium nitride (ZrN) is a refractory material with good mechanical and thermal properties. It is therefore a good candidate for hard surface treatment at high temperature. In this work, we report the growth and characterization of ZrN by…
The current work studies the effect of sintering conditions on the densification behavior, microstructure, and electrochemical performance of 6 mol% Sc2O3, 1 mol% CeO2 co-doped ZrO2 (6Sc1CeZr) for solid-state electrolyte applications. The…
In this paper, the role of air humidity on the iron corrosion under irradiation is studied in the context of geological disposal of nuclear wastes. The irradiation experiments are performed at room temperature using a 3 MeV extracted proton…
The ionization of xenon atoms subjected to 42fs, 800nm pulses of radiation from a Ti:Sapphire laser was investigated. In our experiments a maximum laser intensity of $\sim2\times 10^{15} \textrm{W}/\textrm{cm}^2$ was used. Xenon ions were…
We describe an empirical, self-consistent, orthogonal tight-binding model for zirconia, which allows for the polarizability of the anions at dipole and quadrupole levels and for crystal field splitting of the cation d orbitals. This is…
Different techniques of the X-ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis (XRDLPA) have been used to assess the microstructure of the irradiated Zr-1.0%Nb-1.0%Sn-0.1%Fe alloy. The domain size, microstrain, density of dislocation and the stacking…
We investigate the multi-photon process of above-threshold ionization for the light elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the hard x-ray regime. Numerical challenges are discussed and by comparing Hartree-Fock-Slater…
It is essential to control the dissolution rate of iron oxide particles for a prospective acidic iron electrowinning process. In this study, the combined influence of temperature (40-80{\deg}C) and short-wavelength light exposure on the…
This paper presents a study of the effects of proton irradiation on iron corrosion. Since it is known that in humid atmospheres, iron corrosion is enhanced by the double influence of air and humidity, we studied the iron corrosion under…
We report interesting observations in 1.2 MeV Ar8+ ion irradiated ZnO which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been published earlier and will be useful for the scientific community engaged in research on ZnO. Irradiation with the…
When the neutral interstellar medium is exposed to EUV and soft X ray radiation, the argon atoms in it are far more susceptible to being ionized than the hydrogen atoms. We make use of this fact to determine the level of ionization in the…
The Zn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to investigate in situ the decomposition of zinc peroxide (ZnO$_2$) to zinc oxide (ZnO). Principal component and linear combination analyses of the EXAFS spectra have been employed…
Under high pressure conditions, Zr undergoes a phase transformation from its ambient equilibrium hexagonal close packed $\alpha$ phase to hexagonal $\omega$ phase. Upon returning to ambient conditions, the material displays hysteretic…
This research has been conducted to characterize and validate the resistive heating as a synthesis method for zirconium oxides (ZrO$_2$). A wire of Zr has been oxidized to form a core shell structure, in which the core is the metal wire,…
The high-pressure structural behavior of europium orthovanadate has been studied using in-situ, synchrotron based, high-pressure x-ray powder diffraction technique. Angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements were carried out at room…
Experiments performed at high gas partial pressures have demonstrated that the kinetics of the CO oxidation reaction at Ru(0001) is different and somewhat anomalous compared to that over other transition metal surfaces and, in particular,…
