    The effect of irradiation on the atomic structure and chemical durability of calcite and dolomite

    When exposed to irradiation—e.g., in nuclear power plant environments—minerals may experience alterations in their atomic structure which, in turn, result in changes in their physical and chemical properties. ...

    Direct observation of pitting corrosion evolutions on carbon steel surfaces at the nano-to-micro- scales

    The Cl-induced corrosion of metals and alloys is of relevance to a wide range of engineered materials, structures, and systems. Because of the challenges in studying pitting corrosion in a quantitative and stati...
