![]() We identify this destructive interference in the superposition in our parallel TEM in situ tensile tests on unirradiated, ion irradiated, and neutron irradiated C35M FeCrAl alloy as well. As a result, we observe that the yield strength in irradiated alloys, after taking into consideration the effects of both composition inhomogeneity and irradiation loops, is smaller than the yield strength of the alloys with only irradiation loops and is approximately same for the alloy with composition inhomogeneity alone. However, our DDD calculations reveal an atypical superposition of the hardening contributions due to composition inhomogeneity and irradiation loops wherein hardening due composition inhomogeneity counteracts hardening due to irradiation loops at small scales. Our simulations confirm the widely accepted fact that irradiated alloys exhibit a stress-strain response with higher yield strength and hardening as compared to homogeneous alloys. We explore the effects of defects on the stress-strain behavior, specifically yield strength and hardening response, of FeCrAl nanopillars. The effects of irradiation-induced defects, such as a/2 111 and a 100 type loops and composition fluctuations representative of phase separation in irradiated FeCrAl alloys, are investigated separately as well as superposed together in simulations. In this paper, we investigate plasticity in irradiated FeCrAl nanopillars using discrete dislocation dynamics simulations (DDD), with comparisons to transmission electron microscopic (TEM) in situ tensile tests of ion and neutron irradiated commercial FeCrAl alloy C35M. This paper explores the various materials which have been introduced in multiple energy technologies as well as other energy-related applications. To preserve our environment and solve the issues regarding efficiencies and energy storage systems, there is an urgent need to develop new materials to alleviate our efficient energy production and storage problem. Such materials are being studied and considered for various energy applications like energy storage, energy harvest, etc. Some materials like graphene have been used for energy harvesting and storage in different energy technologies and facilities. The new system is based on new techniques and study and development of new advanced materials used in the energy infrastructures. The lower performance results in inadequate energy production for huge populations and urbanization thus, due to such reasons, scientists and researchers have adopted a new approach to deal with the efficiency issue. However, efficiencies of these energy facilities remain insufficient except for hydroelectricity. The present energy mix consists of conventional thermal power plants that operate on fossil fuels, natural gas and renewable energy infrastructures. Renewable resources are considered to be sufficiently plentiful and the costs of producing energy per unit are lower further economy of scale is making them affordable. As a result, governments are shifting to renewable energy technologies. Our decades-old reliance on fossil fuels has degraded the environment. The era of fossil fuels may be coming to an end.
