Discrete dislocation dynamics simulations of〈a〉-type prismatic loops in zirconium

Neutron irradiation of zirconium alloys in light water nuclear reactors generates nano-scale defects in the form of vacancy and interstitial 〈a〉-type prismatic loops which lie in prismatic planes of the sample. The dynamics of idealised conservative square 〈a〉-type prismatic loops have been investig...
