Effect of anharmonicity on the thermal conductivity of amorphous silica
Xueyan Zhu, Cheng Shao
Proper consideration of anharmonicity is important for the calculation of the thermal conductivity. However, how the anharmonicity influences the thermal conduction in amorphous ma…
UO2/BeO interfacial thermal resistance and its effect on fuel thermal conductivity
Xueyan Zhu, Rui Gao, Hengfeng Gong +3
UO2/BeO interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is calculated by diffuse mismatch model (DMM) and the effects of ITR on UO2-BeO thermal conductivity are investigated. ITR predicted by…
New zirconium hydrides predicted by structure search method based on first principles calculations
Xueyan Zhu, De-Ye Lin, Jun Fang +3
The formation of precipitated zirconium (Zr) hydrides is closely related to the hydrogen embrittlement problem for the cladding materials of pressured water reactors (PWR). In this…
Effect of vacancies on the mechanical properties of zirconium: An ab initio investigation
Xueyan Zhu, Xingyu Gao, Haifeng Song +2
It is well known that the irradiation-induced defects strongly influence the mechanical properties of zirconium (Zr) or its alloys in nuclear reactors. However, how the point defec…
