Boundary scattering in micro-size crystal of topological Kondo insulator SmB
Narayan Poudel, Daniel J. Murray, Jason R. Jeffries +1
We have studied the effects of phonon-boundary scattering on the thermal transport in topological Kondo insulator, SmB. The studies have been performed by using the method…
Competition of Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy of Uranium Layers and Zig-Zag Chains in UNiGe Single Crystals
Adam P. Pikul, Maria Szlawska, Xiaxin Ding +5
Structural and thermodynamic properties of single-crystalline UNiGe with \,=\,0.66 have been investigated by measuring magnetization, specific heat, and thermal expa…
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…
Advances in actinide thin films: synthesis, properties, and future directions
K. D. Vallejo, F. Kabir, N. Poudel +5
Actinide-based compounds exhibit unique physics due to the presence of 5f electrons, and serve in many cases as important technological materials. Targeted thin film synthesis of a…
Capturing the ground state of uranium dioxide from first principles: crystal distortion, magnetic structure, and phonons
Shuxiang Zhou, Hao Ma, Enda Xiao +5
Uranium dioxide (UO) remains a formidable challenge for first-principles approaches, due to the complex interplay among spin-orbit coupling, Mott physics, magnetic ordering, an…
High Phonon Scattering Rates Suppress Thermal Conductivity in Hyperstoichiometric Uranium Dioxide
Hao Ma, Matthew S. Bryan, Judy W. L. Pang +4
Uranium dioxide (UO), one of the most important nuclear fuels, can accumulate excess oxygen atoms as interstitial defects, which significantly impacts thermal properties. In th…
