A review: applications of the phase field method in predicting microstructure and property evolution of irradiated nuclear materials

Abstract Complex microstructure changes occur in nuclear fuel and structural materials due to the extreme environments of intense irradiation and high temperature. This paper evaluates the role of the phase field method in predicting the microstructure evolution of irradiated nuclear materials and t...
