Abstract Several studies related to simplifying the modeling of pebble bed High-Temperature Reactor core (HTR) has been developed before. From some calculation on several MCNP models with a fueled pebble to dummy ratio 57:43, using a combination of several types of TRISO (TRi-structural ISOtropic particle fuel) unit and Pebble unit is modeled to achieve its first criticality. In this paper, some MCNP model that uses 27000 pebbles with a 57:43 ratio and 100% fueled pebble is created to be used on burnup calculation and to compare its k-eff and nuclide inventory. From this burnup calculation, it could be seen that SC (Simple Cubic) TRISO unit has faster calculation time followed by the HCP (Hexagonal Close Packed) TRISO unit and then the FCC (Face-Centered Cubic) TRISO unit. The BCC (Body-Centered Cubic) pebble unit had some consistent deviation from another pebble unit, and it still needs more study to know more about the reason behind it. It could be seen that if there are some dummy pebbles inside the reactor, then the deviation would be higher than if there is just fueled pebble inside the reactor. On the 57:43 ratio, the absolute average deviation of k-eff on burnup calculation is lower than 2% and 10% for nuclide inventory (mass). On 100% fueled pebble, it’s below 0.15% on k-eff absolute deviation and below 8% on nuclide inventory deviation.

The fundamental zones of Rodrigues–Frank (R-F) space applicable to misorientations between crystals of any two Laue groups are constructed by using a unified formulation in terms of quaternion algebra. Some of these regions are fully bounded by planes that are determined solely by the symmetries of the groups, while others have at least one unbounded direction. Each of the bounded fundamental zones falls into one of nine geometrically distinct configurations. The maximum symmetry-reduced angles and the corresponding Rodrigues–Frank vectors for these fundamental zones are evaluated. The use of Rodrigues–Frank space for the representation of orientation relationships between crystals of any two symmetry groups is also addressed. Examples concerning the transition of phases of the same symmetry group,i.e.from face-centered cubic to body-centered cubic, and of different groups,i.e.from body-centered cubic to hexagonal close-packed, are given to illustrate the usefulness of this space for representing orientation relationships during phase transformation or precipitation.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

Recently, the irradiation behaviors of multi-component alloys have stimulated an increasing interest due to their ability to suppress the growth of irradiation defects, though the mostly studied alloys are limited to face centered cubic (fcc) structured multi-component alloys. In this work, two single-phase body centered cubic (bcc) structured multi-component alloys (CrFeV, AlCrFeV) with different lattice distortions were prepared by vacuum arc melting, and the reference of α-Fe was also prepared. After 6 MeV Au ions irradiation to over 100 dpa (displacement per atom) at 500 °C, the bcc structured CrFeV and AlCrFeV exhibited significantly improved irradiation swelling resistance compared to α-Fe, especially AlCrFeV. The AlCrFeV alloy possesses superior swelling resistance, showing no voids compared to α-Fe and CrFeV alloy, and scarce irradiation softening appears in AlCrFeV. Owing to their chemical complexity, it is believed that the multi-component alloys under irradiation have more defect recombination and less damage accumulation. Accordingly, we discuss the origin of irradiation resistance and the Al effect in the studied bcc structured multi-component alloys.

AbstractThe compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2–13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: $$V_0$$ V 0 = 38.0 Å$$^3$$ 3 /at, $$K_0$$ K 0 = 2.65 GPa, $$K'_0$$ K 0 ′ = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P–V points mostly at moderate pressure ($$\le$$ ≤ 20 GPa).

The effects of ausforming in an Fe30Mn10Cr10Co high-entropy alloy on the microstructure, hardness, and plastic anisotropy were investigated. The alloy showed a dual-phase microstructure consisting of face-centered cubic (FCC) austenite and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) martensite in the as-solution-treated condition, and the finish temperature for the reverse transformation was below 200 °C. Therefore, low-temperature ausforming at 200 °C was achieved, which resulted in microstructure refinement and significantly increased the hardness. Furthermore, plasticity anisotropy, a common problem in HCP structures, was suppressed by the ausforming treatment. This, in turn, reduced the scatter of the hardness.

Close-packed metal surfaces and heteroepitaxial systems frequently display a structure consisting of regularly spaced misfit dislocations, with a network of domain walls separating face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) domains. These structures can serve as templates for growing regularly spaced arrays of nanoislands. We present a theoretical investigation of the factors controlling the size and shape of the domains, using Pt(111) as a model system. Upon varying the chemical potential, the surface structure changes from being unreconstructed to the honeycomb, wavy triangles, "bright stars", or Moiré patterns observed experimentally on Pt(111) and other systems. For the particular case of Pt(111), isotropically contracted star-like patterns are favored over uniaxially contracted stripes.
