Lattice parameters of fluorite-structured uranium–americium mixed oxides
Source abstract
Abstract
The room temperature lattice parameters of fluorite-structured U 1–yAm yO 2 uranium–americium mixed oxides were confronted with our crystallographic hybrid model. The complex charge compensation mechanisms that take place in this solid solution were considered to shed light on the available experimental unit-cell values. The effects of α self-irradiation, deviation from stoichiometry, and neptunium content on the lattice constants were also estimated.
