We explore the consequences of nonthermal plasma-activation on product yields in catalytic
ammonia synthesis, a reaction that is equilibrium-limited at elevated temperatures. We …

The diffusion phenomena in uranium–plutonium mixed oxides U1− yPuyO2 dictate the
physicochemical properties of mixed oxides (MOX) nuclear fuel throughout manufacturing …

We adopt the quantum field theoretical method to calculate the amplitude and event rate for
a neutrino oscillation experiment, considering neutrino production, propagation and …

The consequences of 5f electrons in the actinide elements are as interesting as they are
complex, with actinide systems displaying dual nature of 5f states (itinerant-localized) …

Values are reported of specific heat, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of UO 2 from
1500 K to 2900 K based on laser flash measurements. Experiment is complemented by the …

A comprehensive analysis of X-ray absorption data obtained at the UL 3-edge for a
systematic series of single-valence (UO2, KUO3, UO3) and mixed-valence uranium …

We report that by using crystal optics and laboratory-based X-ray source, one may perform
easily X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) state-of-the-art measurements at the UL 3 …

Due to UO 2 being a strong electron-phonon interaction system, resonant Raman scattering
is particularly helpful in exploring the relationship between its optical properties and …

Using the hard-sphere model with the existing tabulated values of ionic radii to calculate the
lattice parameters of minerals does not always match experimental data. An adaptation of …

Although uranium–cerium dioxides are frequently used as a surrogate material for (U, Pu)
O2− δ nuclear fuels, there is currently no reliable data regarding the oxygen stoichiometry …
