NEEP Seminar Series: Brian Wirth, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Harnessing fusion energy requires materials that can cope in extreme environments, which is more challenging by a lack of representative laboratory-scale environments that mimic the harsh fusion reactor conditions. As a result, computational materials modeling is an important scientific tool to integrate research on fusion materials. For plasma facing components (PFCs) like tungsten, low-energy helium and hydrogen... For the full abstract and other event details, please visit the link below.
