Theoretical studies on the impact of point defect on the structures of different uranium silicides

Miao He, Shiyu Du, Heming He +6

The structures, point defects and impacts of fission products for U3Si (\b{eta}-U3Si and γ-U3Si) and USi2 (α-USi2 and \b{eta}-USi2) are studied by first-principles calculations. Th…
