Thorium dioxide (ThO2) is a promising alternative to mixed-oxide nuclear fuels due to its
longer fuel cycle and resistance to proliferation. Understanding the thermal properties, in …

As nuclear fuel burn-up increases, its thermal conductivity degrades due to the accumulation
of defects that lead to increased phonon scattering rates. This results in a rise in the …

In this paper, first-principles calculations and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT)
based on the ab-initio approach, have been utilized to investigate mechanical, elastic …

In this work, thermal conductivity and anharmonic properties of chemical vapor transport
(CVT)‐grown pyrite‐FeS2 and mineral single crystals have been investigated and …

The operation of oxide-based memristive devices relies on the fast accumulation and
depletion of oxygen vacancies by an electric field close to the metal–oxide interface. Here …
