Thermodynamics Modeling for Actinide Monocarbides and Mononitrides from First Principles

Per Soderlind et al.

Summary: In this study, the high-temperature thermodynamic properties of actinide monocarbides and mononitrides (ThC, ThN, UC, UN, PuC, and PuN) were calculated using first-principles electronic-structure theory. The electronic structure was modeled using density-functional theory (DFT) with full relativistic effects and spin-orbit interaction. Orbital-orbital interactions were taken into account using a parameter-free orbital-polarization (OP) technique, which was found to be essential for the 5f electrons in plutonium. The self-consistent ab initio lattice dynamics (SCAILD) method was used to capture strong anharmonicity and the temperature dependence of lattice vibrations. The calculated free energies and heat capacities were compared with results from quasi-harmonic (QH) theory and experiments, and CALPHAD assessments were used for uranium and plutonium compounds. Generally, the anharmonic relativistic approach showed good agreement with CALPHAD and experiments. However, for thorium compounds, the comparison with QH modeling of the free energy at lower temperatures was favorable but less favorable for the heat capacity.

Hybrid functional/embedded cluster study of uranium and actinide (actinide = Np, Pu, Am or Cm) mixed dioxides bulk and {110} surfaces

Jia-Li Chen et al.

Summary: Understanding actinide mixed oxides is crucial for the development of nuclear fuel and the storage of spent fuel. This study provides systematic simulations of AnO(2) and U-An MOX using density functional theory, focusing on spin density and density of states. Conclusions are drawn regarding oxidation states and transition regions between different systems.

Investigation of the bulk and point defect properties in uranium-plutonium mixed oxides (U,Pu)O2 using DFT+U: Effect of a low americium content

Martin S. Talla Noutack et al.

Summary: We investigated the effect of low Am impurity content on the properties of mixed actinide oxide (U,Pu)O-2, finding electronic charge transfer between uranium and americium cations, an increase in the mixing enthalpy and a decrease in lattice parameter, and americium facilitating the formation of oxygen vacancies in (U,Am)O-2.

Effect of cationic chemical disorder on defect formation energies in uranium-plutonium mixed oxides

Didier Bathellier et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation energies of point defects in uranium-plutonium mixed oxides (U,Pu)O-2 and finds that disorder has an impact on the properties of bound Schottky defects (BSD). The study proposes an interaction model to describe the effect of nominal and local composition on BSD formation energies.

Incorporation of Kr and Xe in Uranium Mononitride: A Density Functional Theory Study

Lin Yang et al.

Summary: Density functional theory was used to study intrinsic point defects and incorporation of fission gas atoms Kr and Xe in uranium nitride. The results showed that defect formation energies are highly dependent on stoichiometry. The incorporation of Kr and Xe induces relaxation of the atomic positions in UN, with Xe causing more significant displacement than Kr due to its larger atomic radius.
