Analysis

This paper investigates the accumulation of tritium on tungsten and beryllium surfaces, materials relevant to fusion applications, and explores the effectiveness of ozone decontamination. The study's significance lies in addressing the challenges of tritium contamination and identifying a potential in-situ decontamination method. The findings contribute to the understanding of material behavior in tritium environments and provide insights into effective decontamination strategies.
Reference

Exposure to ozone without UV irradiation did not have a distinct effect on surface activity, indicating that UV illumination is required for significant decontamination.

Analysis

This paper investigates how the amount of tungsten in nickel-tungsten alloys affects their structure and mechanical properties. The research is important because it explores a new class of materials that could be stronger and denser than existing options. The study uses advanced techniques to understand the relationship between the alloy's composition, its internal structure (short-range order), and how it behaves under stress. The findings could lead to the development of new high-performance alloys.
Reference

Strong short-range order emerges when W content exceeds about 30 wt%, producing distinct diffuse scattering and significantly enhancing strain-hardening capacity.
