Thermal Transport in Defective Uranium Nitride: Effects of Point Defects, Anharmonicity, and Electronic Contributions

Beihan Chen, Marat Khafizov, Zilong Hua +2

The impact of point defects on thermal transport in uranium nitride (UN) is investigated using a MLIP combined with Green-Kubo (GK) and normal mode analysis (NMA) methods over 300-…

Anomalous Ionic Conductivity along the Coherent 3 Grain Boundary in ThO2

Miaomiao Jin, Jilang Miao, Marat Khafizov +3

Understanding oxygen diffusion along grain boundaries (GBs) is critical for controlling ionic conductivity in oxide ceramics. GBs are typically thought to enhance ionic transport d…
