Prof. María José Caturla, Professor at the University of Alicante, will give a seminar entitled “Advances and Challenges in Microstructure Evolution Models for Nuclear Materials under Irradiation” on 4 September at 12:00 PM, in the Seminar Room.

Abstract Nuclear materials undergo continuous microstructural changes induced by irradiation, particularly by high-energy neutrons. These changes, which originate at the atomic scale, result in the degradation of the mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties of materials. Predicting this dynamic microstructure and connecting it to macroscopic changes is one of the great challenges in nuclear materials […]
