Prediction of novel ordered phases in U-X (X= Zr, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Y, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W) binary alloys under high pressure

Xiao L. Pan, Hong X. Song, H. Wang +5

U-based binary alloys have been widely adopted in fast nuclear reactors, but their stability under extreme conditions of high-pressure is almost unknown, mounting up to latent risk…
