A new facility to study the interaction of hydrogen isotopes with nuclear fusion relevant first wall materials, its retention and release, has been produced. The new facility allows implanting a range of gases into samples, including tritium. Accurate study of isotope effects, such as the isotopic exchange in damaged microstructure, has previously …

CALANIE (CALculation of ANIsotropic Elastic energy) program evaluates an elastic interaction correction to the total energy of a localized object, for example a defect in a solid material simulated using an {it ab initio} or molecular statics approach, resulting from the use of periodic boundary conditions. The correction, computed using a fully el…

Fusion is one of very few options for sustainable, baseload power to the grid that is necessary to meet the energy needs of future generations. The tokamak is the most advanced approach to fusion and, with the construction of ITER, we are approaching power plant conditions. While commercialisation of this key technology is a main driver for tokamak…

Multi-component alloy Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni is a promising new candidate system not only because of its potential application as structural materials beyond conventional austenitic steels but also for fundamental physics role played by Mn element in Fe-Cr-Ni based alloys. In this work, the phase stability of magnetic face-centered cubic (fcc) Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni sys…

The diffusion of defects in crystalline materials governs macroscopic behaviour in a wide range of processes, including alloying, precipitation, phase transformation, and creep. In real materials, intrinsic defects are unavoidably bound to static trapping centres such as impurity atoms, meaning that their diffusion is controlled by the de-trapping …

Systems Engineering (SE) allows addressing the design of complex systems from a holistic standpoint, starting from the early stage of development until the end of its lifetime. Using a SE approach, all the stakeholders’ needs can be considered, and different design alternatives can be proposed, taking into account requirements coming from all the…

Ti-containing micro-alloyed steels are often alloyed with molybdenum (Mo) to gain superior ageing-resistance through reduced nano-precipitate coarsening, although the exact mechanism is still disputed. Using small angle neutron scattering (SANS), we characterize precipitate composition and coarsening in Ti micro-alloyed steels with and without M…

We analyse spherical nanoindentation of single crystal copper using two different indenter tips of radii 7.4 and 27 um. The surface deformation surrounding the indents was measured using atomic force microscopy and the elastic rotation fields under the indents were measured using electron diffraction and transmission techniques. Using the measured …

Reduced models coupled to time-dependent axisymmetric vacuum field calculations are used to develop the prefill and feed-forward coil current targets required for reliable direct induction (DI) startup on the new MA-class spherical tokamaks, MAST-U and NSTX-U. The calculations are constrained by operational limits unique to each device, such as the…

The novel technique of dynamical mode decomposition (DMD) is applied to the outputs of a numerical simulation of Kelvin-Helmholtz turbulence in a cylindical plasma, so as to capture and quantify the time evolution of the dominant nonlinear structures. These structures comprise rotationally symmetric deformations together with spiral patterns, which…
