Thermal conductivity suppression in uranium-doped thorium dioxide due to phonon resonant scattering
Zilong Hua, Saqeeb Adnan, Amey R. Khanolkar +7
In this work, the thermal transport properties of thorium dioxide (ThO, thoria) with low levels of substitutional uranium (U) doping are explored. We observe strong indications…
Thermal Energy Transport in Oxide Nuclear Fuel
David H. Hurley, Anter El-Azab, Matthew S. Bryan +13
To efficiently capture the energy of the nuclear bond, advanced nuclear reactor concepts seek solid fuels that must withstand unprecedented temperature and radiation extremes. In t…
The generalized quasiharmonic approximation via space group irreducible derivatives
Mark A. Mathis, Amey Khanolkar, Lyuwen Fu +9
The quasiharmonic approximation (QHA) is the simplest nontrivial approximation for interacting phonons under constant pressure, bringing the effects of anharmonicity into temperatu…
