In France, it is planned to manage high-level radioactive waste via deep geological disposal. The carbon steel overpacks containing the will face corrosion processes specific unusual environment of To protect these against corrosion, use metallic sacrificial coatings was considered as a possible solution. Therefore, behavior thermally sprayed Zn and Zn-15wt.%Al (500 µm thick) studied in solutio...

Bragg diffraction is a major tool to solve and refine crystal structures, though it is limited as results obtained from the bulk sample are averaged in time and space. In contrast, spectroscopy is site sensitive, and thus a probe for local structure with high time and space resolution. Combination of both methods may reveal important additional information on crystal structures such as disorder...
