Interfaces enhanced plasma irradiation resistance in CrMoTaWV/W multilayer films through blocking He diffusion

“…Notably, the presence of interfaces in the material plays a crucial role in determining the size and distribution of He bubbles. According to the experimental results, He bubbles are more likely to accumulate at HEA/W interfaces, indicating that the He formation energy at HEA/W interfaces is lower than that in HEA and W layers, while the He migration energy is higher than that in HEA and W layers [28]. This behavior is similar to other elemental metal multilayers [29,30].…”

“…Due to the low formation energy of He in HEA and the severe lattice distortion of HEA, there are many sinks or sites to trap He atoms [46]. Moreover, the low He formation energy and the high migration energy barrier at multilayer interfaces make He atoms difficult to penetrate the interface [28]. At the initial stages of plasma irradiation, He atoms are more inclined to aggregate into clusters at the surface of the HEA layer and interface (I 1 ), which are difficult to diffuse across the interface as shown in figure 7(a).…”

Classification, synthesis, characterization, and applications of metal nanoparticle-containing hybrid microgels: a comprehensive review

“…[9][10][11] This stimuli-responsive behavior of microgels creates a potential in their structure, which is essential for various applications in catalysis, [12][13][14] adsorption, 15,16 biomedicine, [17][18][19] and nanotechnology. [20][21][22] These applications are greatly affected by the rapid response of smart microgels to external stimuli, such as the ionic strength, 23,24 temperature, [25][26][27] and pH 28,29 of the medium, through their swelling/deswelling behavior. Moreover, extensive research has been conducted on microgels as microreactors, focusing on their ability to fabricate and stabilize inorganic particles (IPs).…”
