Physics-based modelling and validation of inter-granular helium behaviour in SCIANTIX

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
In this work, we propose a new mechanistic model for the treatment of helium behaviour at the grain boundaries in oxide nuclear fuel. The model provides a rate-theory description of helium inter-granular behaviour, considering diffusion towards grain ...

Inert gas accumulation in sonoluminescing bubbles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In this paper we elaborate on the idea [Lohse et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1359-1362 (1997)] that (single) sonoluminescing air bubbles rectify argon.

Helium behaviour in implanted boron carbide

open access: yesEPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2015
When boron carbide is used as a neutron absorber in nuclear power plants, large quantities of helium are produced. To simulate the gas behaviour, helium implantations were carried out in boron carbide.

Damage studies on irradiated tungsten by helium ions in a plasma focus device

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020
Damage of tungsten due to helium ions of a PF device was studied. The tungsten was analyzed by SEM and AFM after irradiation. SEM revealed fine bubbles of helium atoms with diameters of a few nanometers, which join and form larger bubbles and blisters on

Cavitation of Electrons Bubbles in Liquid Helium Below saturation Pressure

open access: yes, 2005
We have used a Hartree-type electron-helium potential together with a density functional description of liquid $^4$He and $^3$He to study the explosion of electron bubbles submitted to a negative pressure.

Near-surface fragmentation in irradiated copper under two successive shock loading: effects of local temperature re-distribution and helium bubble expansion

open access: yesMaterials & Design
The underlying physical mechanisms of metal materials associated with the effects of helium bubbles on surface damage under complex shock loading remain mysterious, primarily due to the challenges of observing dynamic evolution in situ and in real time ...

Influence of exposure conditions on helium transport and bubble growth in tungsten

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Helium diffusion, clustering and bubble nucleation and growth is modelled using the finite element method. The existing model from Faney et al. (Model Simul Mater Sci Eng 22:065010, 2018; Nucl Fusion 55:013014, 2015) is implemented with FEniCS and ...

Reducing bubbles in glass coatings improves electrical breakdown strength [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
Helium reduces bubbles in glass coatings of accelerator grids for ion thrustors. Fusing the coating in a helium atmosphere creates helium bubbles in the glass.

Characterization of a Recyclate‐Based MgO‐Steel Composite As‐Sintered Inert Anode Candidate After Exposure to Cryolite Electrolysis

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon‐free inert anodes are essential for decarbonizing aluminum electrolysis. This study investigates a recyclate‐based MgO‐316L steel composite anode tested under galvanostatic Hall–Héroult conditions in cryolite at 1000°C. Microstructural analysis reveals selective MgO fluorination, spinel and oxide layer formation, electrolyte infiltration, and ...
