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…

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…

Interaction between U/UO2 bilayers and hydrogen studied by in-situ X-ray diffraction
J. Ed Darnbrough, R. M. Harker, I Griffiths +3
This paper reports experiments investigating the reaction of H with uranium metal-oxide bilayers. The bilayers consist of 100 nm of epitaxial -U (grown on a Nb buff…
