First principle calculations of energy of agglomerated helium in the period 6 elements

Difference of helium (He) agglomeration energies between period 6 elements, tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), iridium (Ir) and gold (Au), is illustrated by using first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). It is found that He in W and Ir can agglomerate more easily than Ta and...
