Predicting the equilibria of point defects in zirconium oxide : a route to understand the corrosion and hydrogen pickup of zirconium alloys
The performance of zirconium alloys in nuclear reactors is compromised by corrosion and hydrogen pickup. The thermodynamics and kinetics of these two processes are governed by the behavior of point defects in the ZrO₂ layer that grows natively on these alloys. In this thesis, we developed a …
