Synchrotron x-ray scattering of UN and U2N3 epitaxial films
E. Lawrence Bright, R. Springell, D. G. Porter +2
We examine the magnetic ordering of UN and of a closely related nitride, U2N3, by preparing thin epitaxial films and using synchrotron x-ray techniques. The magnetic configuration…
The Role of Crystal Orientation in the Dissolution of UO Thin Films
S. Rennie, E. Lawrence Bright, J. E. Sutcliffe +5
Epitaxial thin films have been utilised to investigate the radiolytic dissolution of uranium dioxide interfaces. Thin films of UO deposited on single crystal yttria stabilised…
Epitaxial UN and -UN Thin Films
E. Lawrence Bright, S. Rennie, M. Cattelan +3
Single crystal epitaxial thin films of UN and UN have been grown for the first time by reactive DC magnetron sputtering. These films provide ideal samples for fundamental r…
Study of phonons in irradiated epitaxial thin films of UO
S. Rennie, E. Lawrence Bright, J. E. Darnbrough +6
We report experiments to determine the effect of radiation damage on the phonon spectra of the most common nuclear fuel, UO. We have irradiated thin ( 300 nm) epitaxial f…
