Temperature dependence of damage accumulation in α-zirconium

Radiation Effects in Zirconium Alloys

“…Finally, computations [101] using the Monte Carlo method have been carried out. In these simulations, the large vacancy and interstitial point-defect clusters created inside the cascade are taken into account as an input microstructure.…”

Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of Irradiation Effects

“…For more simple alloys such as W-Re, or Fe-Cr, AKMC based on a large DFT data base, has really helped in unveiling mechanisms and explain experimental observations. IV-3 Typical damage accumulation / microstructure evolution: impact of dose, temperature, impurities … Many KMC studies has also been dedicated to characterize damage accumulation in various materials to model specific experiments such as ion implantation in Si for instance (Hobler and Otto 2003) or to investigate the impact of various parameters: the irradiation technique (ions versus neutrons , ions versus protons (Fluss et al 2004), continuous versus pulsed (Perlado et al 2003)), the neutron spectrum (Soneda et al 2003) (Choi and Joo 2013) (Figure 8), the dose, and dose-rate (Soneda et al 2003) (Chiapetto et al 2016a), the temperature (Soneda et al 2003) (Arévalo et al 2007) (Chiapetto et al 2016a) (Castin et al 2018), impurities or solute atoms (Alonso et al 2000) (Gámez et al 2007) (Castin et al 2018), the effect of annealing (Caturla et al 2000b) (Fluss et al 2004) or to compare materials (Caturla et al 2000a). The irradiation is typically modeled using cascade databases obtained either through MD (Perlado et al 1998) (Caturla et al 2000a) (Caturla et al 2000b) (Wirth et al 2001) (Marian et al 2001) (Arévalo et al 2007) (Chiapetto et al 2016a) (Warrier et al 2016) (Castin et al 2018) or the BCA method (Hobler and Otto 2003) (Otto et al 2005) (Hobler et al 2005) (Becquart et al 2006) (Valles et al 2015)…”
