One of the principal research axes related to nuclear energy concerns the management of nuclear wastes. In this context, certain innovative pathways are being explored to provide options which could lead to a major reduction of the quantities of radioactiv ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of displacement cascades in aluminium, aluminium-nickel solid solutions and inhomogeneous samples containing amorphous or crystalline Al3Ni precipitates are performed. It is shown that no segregation occurs inside the displac ...
The understanding of material self-assembling and self-organization mechanisms, at mesoscale, is crucial for nanotechnologies development. Such structures, hierarchically organized in superlattices or colloïdal crystals, are observed in inorganic or organo ...
Charpy impact tests were performed on martensitic/ferritic (MF) steels T91, F82H, Optifer-V and Optimax-A/-C irradiated in SINQ Target-3 up to 7.5 dpa and 500 appm He in a temperature range of 120-195 degrees C. Results demonstrate that for all the four ki ...
Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steels are the reference structural materials for future fusion reactors. They have proven to be a good alternative to austenitic steels for their higher swelling resistance, lower damage accumulation and impr ...
In this thesis, the synthesis and characterization of V2O5-nanostructures, as well as the gas sensing properties of V2O5-nanofibers and carbon nanotubes have been investigated. Various modifications of the nanowires have been successfully employed in order ...
Recent scientific and technical progress on JET is summarized. The scientific programme on JET over the last 2 years has benefited significantly from various technological developments: advanced real time tools, enhanced heating systems and several upgrade ...
We report an experimental and a theoretical study of the radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a function of external radius. We use atomic force microscopy and apply small indentation amplitudes in order to stay in the linear elasticity reg ...
Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been undertaken on the tempered martensitic steel EUROFER97 after proton irradiation at 250 and 350 degreesC and for doses of 0.3 and 1 dpa. It has been qualitatively shown that the scattering arises from dis ...
The translational dynamics of CF3 in liquid helium have been investigated by photodissociating CF3I dissolved in helium droplets consisting of several thousands of atoms. The velocity distribution of CF3 fragments that have escaped from the droplets has be ...
