The problem of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of iron has recently attracted attention in connection with the need to understand the microscopic picture of radiation damage in ferritic steels. In this paper we review the development of a new in ...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to assess the primary damage due to high-energy neutron irradiation in bcc tungsten. For short-range interactions two different universal potentials are used, while for long-range interactions, two empirica ...
Total radiative powers measured by foil bolometer and AXUV camera systems are compared to SOLPS5 simulations in low and high density deuterium and helium diverted discharges on the TCV tokamak. For low density the match between simulation and measurements ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on the mechanical properties of welded joints made of austenitic stainless steels have been investigated. The materials are welded AISI 304 and AISI 347, so-called test weld materials, irradiated with neutrons at 573 K to ...
Surface treatment optimization requires the control of the ion dose and the workpiece temperature, two parameters that are not trivially measurable in plasma-based ion implantation. A temperature and ion fluence monitoring system has been developed and imp ...
In order to investigate the fatigue behavior during irradiation of the EUROFER 97 steel, similar to that which would occur in a fusion reactor, a series of six in situ experiments was conducted using a specially designed proton irradiation system. All test ...
A sensor element (1, 20, 21, 22) capable of sensing more than one spectral band of electromagnetic radiation with the same (x-y) spatial location, especially where the dimensions x-y-z form a set of Cartesian coordinates with z parallel to the direction of ...
Light dispersing device comprising a slit element having a slit for exposure to electromagnetic radiation, wherein the slit element is configured and disposed for turning the slit between at least two positions. The light dispersing device is used together ...
We have experimentally studied the effects of gamma-radiation up to very high total doses on the physical properties of Brillouin scattering in standard commercially available optical fibres. A frequency variation of about 5 MHz for both Brillouin frequenc ...
The paper presents a methodology to determine the coefficient of the natural convection for the surface of a small electric motor. The theory of natural convection is applied to obtain analytical formulas, and the radiation is incorporated in the model. Th ...
