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…
