Research Summary

The Shao group focuses on radiation response of nanostructure materials for nuclear energy applications and nuclear energy conversion. The group is equipped with five ion accelerators for studying fundamental radiation materials science. Research topics include atomic scale understanding of particle irradiation induced damage cascade developments under complicated boundary conditions, subsequent microstructural changes, and thermal property and mechanical property degradation. These studies typically integrate with accelerator testing, atomic scale characterization, and mutiscale modeling by combing Monte Carlo simulation, molecular dynamics simulation, and kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. Most recent interests are radiation tolerant materials for reactor in-core components and advanced radiation sensor and detectors.
