An Investigation for Ground State Features of Some Structural Fusion Materials

Abstract

Environmental concerns associated with fossil fuels are creating increased interest in alternative non-fossil energy sources. Nuclear fusion can be one of the most attractive sources of energy from the viewpoint of safety and minimal environmental impact. When considered in all energy systems, the requirements for performance of structural materials in a fusion reactor first wall, blanket or diverter, are arguably more demanding or difficult than for other energy system. The development of fusion materials for the safety of fusion power systems and understanding nuclear properties is important. In this paper, ground state properties for some structural fusion materials as Al-27, V-51, Cr-52, Mn-55, and Fe-56 are investigated using Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method. The obtained results have been discussed and compared with the available experimental data.
