Atomistic Study of Radiation-Induced Ductile-to-Brittle Transition in Austenitic Steel

Neutron irradiation in structural alloys promotes defect clustering, which suppresses plasticity and triggers a ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT), a key degradation mechanism limiting fracture resistance in nuclear materials. This study investigates the fracture mechanisms underlying this transition in irradiated Fe-Ni-Cr alloys. Using Molecular Dynamics simulations, we examine how different defect types influence crack propagation and energy dissipation mechanisms. The results reveal distinct roles of these defects: voids facilitate crack growth by reducing local cohesive energy, while dislocation loops act as barriers that impede crack advancement and redirect crack paths, significantly altering crack morphology. Building on the classical approach of separating fracture energy into brittle cleavage and plastic components, this study adapts the decomposition to irradiated materials. This framework quantifies the evolving contributions of surface energy and plastic work across increasing radiation damage levels, providing critical insight into how irradiation-induced defects govern fracture dynamics

S-Noetherian generalized power series rings

Let R be a ring with identity, (M;\leq) a commutative positive strictly ordered monoid and w_m an automorphism for each m \in M . The skew generalized power series ring R[[M,w]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal'cev Neumann Laurent series rings. If S\subset R is a multiplicative set, then R is called right S-Noetherian, if for each ideal I of R, Is \subseteq J\subseteq I for some s\in S and some finitely generated right ideal J . Unifying and generalizing a number of known results, we study transfers of S-Noetherian property to the ring R[[M,w]]. We also show that the ring R[[M,w]] is left Noetherian if and only if R is left Noetherian and M is finitely generated. Generalizing a result of Anderson and Dumitrescu, we show that,when S\subset R is a-anti-Archimedean multiplicative set with a an automorphism of R, then R is right S-Noetherian if and only if the skew polynomial ring R[x,a] is right S-Noetherian.

The ascending chain condition for principal left or right ideals of skew generalized power series rings

Let $R$ be a ring, $(S,\leq)$ a strictly ordered monoid and $ω: S\rightarrow End(R)$ a monoid homomorphism. In this paper we study the ascending chain conditions on principal left (resp. right) ideals of the skew generalized power series ring $R[[S,ω]]$. Among other results, it is shown that $R[[S,ω]]$ is a right archimedean reduced ring if $S$ is an Artinian strictly totally ordered monoid, $R$ is a right archimedean and $S$-rigid ring which satisfies the ACC on annihilators and $ω_s$ preserves nonunits of $R$ for each $s\in S$. As a consequence we deduce that the power series rings, Laurent series rings, skew power series rings, skew Laurent series rings and generalized power series rings are reduced satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal left (or right) ideals. It is also proved that, the skew Laurent polynomial ring $R[x,x^{-1};α]$ satisfies \emph{ACCPL(R)}, if $R$ is $α$-rigid and satisfies \emph{ACCPL(R)} and the $ACC$ on left(resp. right) annihilators. Examples are provided to illustrate and delimit our results.
