This reference work, prepard by investigators from several distinct segments of the interface research community, focuses attention on the opportunities that exist in an exceedingy active area of materials research. In spite of the technological importance of materials interfaces, basic understanding of their atomic-level structure and properties is still very much limited and it is now recognized that an interdisciplinary approach which also combines theory, experiment and computer simulation holds the greatest promise for advances. By bringing together critical reviews on various types of solid interfaces, this book provides a reference on the study of interfacial structure and phenomena, which emphasizes the commonalities of different systems and the value of atomic-level insights that can be gained by an integrated approach. The introductory chapters highlight the common aspects of many interface problems. The main body of the book is divided into four parts. The first two sections are devoted to bulk interfaces, particularly grain boundaries, and to semi-bulk and thin-film interfaces. Parts 3 and 4 deal with interfacial properties of direct concern in practical applications.

Although computational modeling and simulation of material deformation was initiated with the study of structurally simple materials and inert environments, there is an increasing demand for predictive simulation of more realistic material structure and physical conditions. In particular, it is recognized that applied mechanical force can plausibly alter chemical reactions inside materials or at material interfaces, though the fundamental reasons for this chemomechanical coupling are studied in a material-speci c manner. Atomistic-level s- ulations can provide insight into the unit processes that facilitate kinetic reactions within complex materials, but the typical nanosecond timescales of such simulations are in contrast to the second-scale to hour-scale timescales of experimentally accessible or technologically relevant timescales. Further, in complex materials these key unit processes are “rare events” due to the high energy barriers associated with those processes. Examples of such rare events include unbinding between two proteins that tether biological cells to extracellular materials [1], unfolding of complex polymers, stiffness and bond breaking in amorphous glass bers and gels [2], and diffusive hops of point defects within crystalline alloys [3].

This book is a treatment on the foundational knowledge of Nuclear Science and Engineering. It is an outgrowth of a first-year graduate-level course which the author has taught over the years in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. The emphasis of the book is on concepts in nuclear science and engineering in contrast to the traditional nuclear physics in a nuclear engineering curriculum. The essential difference lies in the importance we give to the understanding of nuclear radiation and their interactions with matter. We see our students as nuclear engineers who work with all kinds of nuclear devices, from fission and fusion reactors to accelerators and detection systems. In all these complex systems nuclear radiation play a central role. In generating nuclear radiation and using them for beneficial purposes, scientists and engineers must understand the properties of the radiation and how they interact with their surroundings. It is through the control of radiation interactions that we can develop new devices or optimize existing ones to make them more safe, powerful, durable, or economical. This is why radiation interaction is the essence of this book.

The urgency to address climate change and the diminishing sustainability of fossil fuels has propelled nuclear energy into the forefront of global energy solutions. This advanced textbook aims to provide nuclear science and engineering students with a holistic view and mechanistic understanding on the underlying nuclear physics processes. Based on the award-winning classes the authors have been teaching to first-year graduate students at MIT Nuclear Science and Engineering Department, this book aims to equip the next-generation nuclear scientists and engineers with the knowledge and insights needed to harness the vast potential of nuclear energy responsibly and innovatively. Through the pages of this book, students will journey into the heart of nuclear physics, exploring its foundational principles and the recent technological advancements that promise to redefine our energy future. Numerous Questions, Problems, and research-project-level Capstone Projects are added to facilitate active learning. Fundamentals such as quantum mechanics and latest progress such as machine learning and fusion breakthroughs are introduced in a balanced manner. Our goal is to provide a thorough grounding in the subject matter, preparing students to tackle the challenge on global climate change from a perspective of nuclear radiation interactions.
