The effect of grain boundary on irradiation tolerance of U-Mo alloy: Defect evolution and mechanical properties
The presence of grain boundaries (GBs) as an efficient defect sink can significantly impact the material’s radiation endurance. This study applied molecular dynamics (MD) methods to investigate the GB in U-Mo alloys interacted with defects caused by irradiation and the mechanical properties of the U-Mo alloys before and after irradiation. The results of this study indicate that the number of surviving defects is sensitive to both temperature and the distance between the primary knock-on atom (PKA) and the GBs. The numbers of residual interstitials and vacancies decrease with increasing temperature in GB models. Furthermore, vacancy cluster sizes decrease with increasing temperature, large-sized interstitial clusters cannot be formed at all three temperatures studied. The analysis of the efficiency of different GBs as sinks reveals that their ability to absorb defects is positively correlated with strain width. Compared with the SC models, the GB models have better resistance to irradiation.

Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
