Talk Title: Engineering Interfaces as a Strategy Towards New Materials for Extreme Irradiation Environments

Abstract: The LANL's Center for Materials under Extreme Mechanical and Irradiation Extremes, one of the DOE's Energy Frontier Research Center, is focused on the study of interfaces and their response to extreme conditions. This talk will cover two aspects of this research: i- radiation resistance of nanoscale foams and ii- radiation resistance of twist boundaries in fcc and bcc metals. Using computational tools and experimental measurements we we explore the behavior of these two systems to unveil details on the evolution of radiation created defects as affected by nanoscale structural features.
