In particular, the superionic transition is investigated and viewed via the thermal dependence of lattice parameter, linear thermal expansion coefficient, enthalpy and specific heat at constant pressure. Oxygen diffusivity and activation enthalpy are also investigated.</p> <p><a href="http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/posts/new-paper-thermophysical-properties-and-oxygen-transport-in-thxpu1-xo2/">Read more…</a> (1 min remaining to read)</p></div>actinidesCooperdiffusionGalvinmigrationMOXnew papernewsplutoniaplutoniumpublicationsRobinRushtonthermophysical propertiesthoriathoriumhttp://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/posts/new-paper-thermophysical-properties-and-oxygen-transport-in-thxpu1-xo2/Mon, 31 Oct 2016 12:23:49 GMT
