Understanding corrosion in liquid metal-cooled nuclear systems is essential in order be able to control it. While much literature exists detailing corrosion rates and mechanisms of structural materials in liquid metals, much still remains…
We investigate deuterium chemistry coupled with the nuclear spin-state chemistry of H$_2$ and H$_3^+$ in protoplanetary disks. Multiple paths of deuterium fractionation are found; exchange reactions with D atoms, such as HCO$^+$ + D, are…
Collisional de-excitation rates of partially deuterated molecules are different from the fully hydrogenated species because of lowering of symmetry. We compute the collisional (de)excitation rates of ND2H by ground state para-H2, extending…
The discovery of a superconducting phase in sulfur hydride under high pressure with a critical temperature above 200 K has provided a new impetus to the search for even higher $T_c$. Theory predicted and experiment confirmed that the phase…
The structural properties under hydrostatic pressure up to 3 GPa of the layered rare earth carbide halide superconductor Y2C2I2 are studied by neutron powder diffraction at room temperature. The compressibilities are anisotropic, such that…
Using a quantum-mechanical close-coupling method, we calculate cross sections for fine structure excitation and relaxation of Si and S atoms in collisions with atomic hydrogen. Rate coefficients are calculated over a range of temperatures…
Our understanding of nuclear fission, a fundamental nuclear decay, is still incomplete due to the complexity of the process. In this paper, we describe a study of spontaneous fission using the symmetry-unrestricted nuclear density…
Significant efforts have been committed to understanding the fundamental combustion chemistry of ammonia at high-pressure and low-temperature conditions with or without blending with other fuels, as these are promising to improve ammonia…
Interactions between convective shells in evolved massive stars have been linked to supernova impostors, to the production of the odd-Z elements Cl, K, and Sc, and they might also help generate the large-scale asphericities that are known…
Relativistic $^{238}$U+$^{238}$U collisions have recently been used to extract the quadrupole shape of $^{238}$U. In this study, we employ state-of-the-art three-dimensional (3D) lattice covariant density functional theory (CDFT) with…
Transition metal oxides have been attracted much attention in thermoelectric community from the last few decades. In the present work, we have synthesized LaNiO$_{3}$ by a simple solution combustion process. To analyze the crystal structure…
High pressure x-ray diffraction up to 30 GPa and resonant emission x-ray spectroscopy and partial fluorescence yield x-ray absorption spectroscopy up to 52 GPa were used to study how the structural and electronic properties of UTe$_2$…
We present results of simulations of light-nuclei production in Au+Au collisions at collision energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 3 GeV within updated Three-fluid Hydrodynamics-based Event Simulator Extended by UrQMD (Ultra-relativistic Quantum…
A new variant of the superconducting fulleride $\mathrm{Rb_{3}C_{60}}$ is presented, with $\mathrm{^{3}He}$ atoms encapsulated in the $\mathrm{C_{60}}$ cages. The $\mathrm{^{3}He}$ nuclei act as sensitive NMR probes embedded in the…
We study here the formation of heavy r-process nuclei in the high-entropy environment of rapidly expanding neutrino-driven winds from compact objects. In particular, we explore the sensitivity of the element creation in the A>130 region to…
The process of radiation induced electron capture by protons or deuterons producing new ultra low momentum neutrons and neutrinos may be theoretically described within the standard field theoretical model of electroweak interactions. For…
This paper reports experiments investigating the reaction of H$_{2}$ with uranium metal-oxide bilayers. The bilayers consist of $\leq$ 100 nm of epitaxial $\alpha$-U (grown on a Nb buffer deposited on sapphire) with a UO$_{2}$ overlayer of…
Hafnium hydride is a promising material for next-generation nuclear reactors, particularly as control rods for fast fission and shielding in fusion systems. The material's intrinsic brittleness encourages its use in the form of…
The rate of $dd\mu$ muonic molecule resonant formation in $d\mu$ atom collision with a condensed deuterium target is expressed in terms of a single-particle response function. In particular, $dd\mu$ formation in solid deuterium at low…
Ferromagnetic solids acquire nontrivial magnetic and caloric properties when the temperature of the structural phase transition approaches the Curie point. Deciphering magneto-structural transitions, i.e. determining their characteristic…
