This thesis examines ternary UMoX alloys (X = Zr, Pt, Nb, Ti, W) as alternative research reactor fuel candidates. Microstructure, solubility, γ-phase stability and Al interdiffusion were analyzed under thermal and irradiation conditions. [...]

The formation and evolution of nanoparticles on the surface of oxide catalysts are essential for determining their catalytic performance. Establishing a direct relationship between structure and function requires real-time in situ characterization under operational conditions. [...]

The design of high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy sheets is challenged by the inherent contradiction between strength and thermal conductivity, as well as the complex variables involved in the rolling process. In this study, Mg-xZn-0.5Gd-0.5Y (at.%) (1/x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) alloys were developed by adjusting the atomic ratio of rare earth (RE) elements to Zn. [...]

Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) is apowerful non-destructive assay for toxic elementssuch as Cd, Hg or Pb in radioactive packages [1,2]. Inparticular, for long-lived actinides, e.g [...]
