DFT modelling of tungsten boride for prediction of defect propagation

As fusion power reactors advance, developing effective shielding materials becomes crucial. The epsilon phase of tungsten boride shows promise in this role. This project predicts defect propagation from radiation damage in the epsilon phase, providing valuable insights into its behaviour. The findings will aid in designing more resilient shielding materials for fusion reactors and help bridge gaps in understanding defect propagation in this material.
