Xe diffusion and bubble nucleation around edge dislocations in UO2
Recently it has been suggested that dislocations, generated by radiation damage, may increase the rate of fission gas diffusion from the fuel grains, an affect which is at present not incorporated into fuel performance codes. Therefore, we perform molecular dynamics simulations employing empirical potentials to investigate the diffusion of Xe atoms around edge dislocations in UO2 to establish t...
متن کاملAnaesthesia for radiotherapy under high-pressure oxygen.
FOLLOWING experimental work on animals it has been suggested that the effectiveness of X-ray treatment of tumours may be increased by the simultaneous administration of oxygen under high pressure (Gray et al., 1953). To determine if these results were applicable to be made much more radiosensitive by increasing the oxygen tension. Many tumours, however, contain large numbers of cells which, bec...
متن کاملModeling Oxygen Dynamics under Variable Work Rate
Measurements of oxygen uptake and blood lactate content are central to methods for assessment of physical fitness and endurance capabilities in athletes. Two important parameters extracted from such data of incremental exercise tests are the maximal oxygen uptake and the critical power. A commonly accepted model of the dynamics of oxygen uptake during exercise at constant work rate comprises a ...
متن کاملPressure-driven insulator-metal transition in cubic phase UO2
Understanding the electronic properties of actinide oxides under pressure poses a great challenge for experimental and theoretical studies. Here, we investigate the electronic structure of cubic phase uranium dioxide at different volumes using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory. The ab initio calculations predict an orbital-selective insulator-metal trans...
متن کاملSilicon self-diffusion under extrinsic conditions
Self-diffusion in silicon is investigated under extrinsic carrier conditions by monitoring the diffusion of Si in isotopically enriched silicon layers with boron and phosphorus background doping. At 1000 °C, we find that the Si self-diffusion coefficient is slightly enhanced in both nand p-type backgrounds. This is direct evidence of the existence of both negatively and positively charged nativ...
