Reflecting (on) the Nucleation Curve: Negative Surface Energy Stabilizes Nickel Ferrite Nano-Particles in Nuclear Reactor Coolant
C. J. O'Brien, Z. Rak, D. W. Brenner
We used a thermodynamics-informed first principles scheme, to calculate the temperature-dependent surface energies of nickel oxide (NiO) and nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4), two compounds…

First-principles investigation of boron defects in nickel ferrite spinel
Zs. Rak, C. J. OBrien, D. W. Brenner
The accumulation of boron within the porous nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4, NFO) deposited on fuel rods is a major technological problem with important safety and economical implications.…
