A Review on DPA for computing radiation damage simulation

Abstract

A Monte Carlo code is developed for the radiation damage in the metals which results from nuclear collisions that create energetic recoil atoms of the host material. The development of the simulation codes for the radiation damage method by neutrons and protons can be highly useful in technology of advanced nuclear systems and nuclear fusion reactors. The aim of this review is to investigate the impact of the radiation damage in the materials by the neutron and proton energy irradiation. The damage parameter used in the evaluation is displacement per atom (DPA) in material as a function of neutron and proton energy. For this purpose, there are some software codes used which are related to radiation damage because radiation damage can be measured as a function of DPA, which is one of the critical issues for high intensity beams, particularly, for protons and neutrons.

The Use of the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter Code for Calculation of Damage in Three Different Types of Steel

“…It can measure the final 3D distribution of the ions and all kinetic phenomena for this ion's energy loss. Based on Kinchin-Pease formalism which can calculate the type of TRIM using (Ion Distribution and Quick Calculation of Damage) [15][16][17].…”

A Computational Study of Substituent Effect 1, 3, 4-Thiadiazole on Corrosion Inhibition

“…Descaling, cleaning, pickling and acidizing oil wells are all businesses that use hydrochloric acid [1][2][3]. In acidic solutions, the corrosion inhibitors used are mostly heterocyclic molecules such as sulfur, phosphorous, oxygen, nitrogen, and aromatic or aliphatic organic chemicals, which are adsorbed on the surfaces of metals [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Due to the vacant d-orbital of iron atoms, the creation of a metal cation among inhibitor molecules as electron donors and metal surface atoms as electron acceptors has been hypothesized in corrosion research.…”

Measuring energy loss of alpha particles in hydrogen gas

“…Most researchers who investigate the range and stopping power for different media were used the SRIM code [10][11][12][13]. Furthermore, Report 49 of the PSTAR [14] measured the stopping and range of ions into a target material.…”
