Studies on Molten Salt Fuels: Properties, Purification, and Materials Degradation
… fluoride salt fuels, salt purification, and the degradation of structural materials in static and flowing molten-salt fuels. For the measurements of properties, phase transition, specific heat capacity, vapor pressure, contact angle on nuclear-grade graphite, and density were measured. The …

Nanoscopic materials response to radiation and corrosion environments
… are developed to study the response of materials to radiation and corrosion environments at nanoscale, respectively. Firstly, controlled ion radiation has become a popular tool for the fabrication and modification of nanostructured materials as well as understanding materials degradation …

Stress Corrosion Cracking of a Transformation Induced Plasticity Fe39Mn20CO20Cr15Si5Al1 High Entropy Alloy
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is a materials degradation phenomenon in which a susceptible material (metal) fails below its yield strength in a brittle manner because of the concomitant effect of a tensile load and a corrosive environment. After achieving a critical crack length, the component …

Development of a ferroelectric plasma source through material degradation studies and characterization of volume and surface discharges
… particle emitter is partially limited by the materials used. A particular case of this is a ferroelectric plasma source (FPS) or ferroelectric electron emitter (FEE), in which a strongly polarizable material, capable of generating large surface currents (10^0 – 10^5 A/cm2), is pulsed to emit …
