Epitaxial thin films have been utilised to investigate the radiolytic dissolution of uranium dioxide interfaces. Thin films of UO$_2$ deposited on single crystal yttria stabilised zirconia substrates have been exposed to water in the…
We propose that the machinability of hard ceramics can be improved by reversible electrochemical doping. On the example of TiO2, we show in a combined density functional theory-molecular dynamics computational study that a small amount of…
Effects of carbon incorporation on the doping state of YBa2Cu3Oy (Y-123) were investigated. Quantitative carbon analysis revealed that carbon could be introduced into Y-123 from both the precursor and the sintering gas. Nearly carbon-free…
Different dopants with their specific dopant concentration can be utilized to produce ferroelectric HfO$_2$ thin films. In this work it is explored for the example of Sr in a comprehensive first-principles study. Density functional…
X-ray characterisation methods have undoubtedly enabled cutting-edge advances in all aspects of materials research. Despite the enormous breadth of information that can be extracted from these techniques, the challenge of radiation-induced…
The uranium mononitride (UN) is a material considered as a promising candidate for Generation-IV nuclear reactor fuels. Unfortunately, oxygen in air affects UN fuel performance and stability. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the…
We have investigated the Cr-doping effect of Nd0.375Sr0.625MnO3 near the phase boundary between the x2-y2 and 3z2-r2 orbital ordered states, where a ferromagnetic correlation and concomitant large magnetoresistance are observed owing to…
We study the sulphur chemistry evolution in the Orion KL along the gas and grain phases of the cloud. We investigate the processes that dominate the sulphur chemistry and to determine how physical and chemical parameters, such as the final…
Monte Carlo simulations show similarity on radial distributions of power and isotopic concentrations at any effective full power depletion time among five kinds of fuel-cladding combinations with the same cycle length, including the normal…
This article is devoted to investigation of cation self-diffusion mechanisms, taking place in UO2, UO2+x, and UO2-x crystals simulated under periodic (PBC) and isolated (IBC) boundary conditions using the method of molecular dynamics in the…
In this work we report a structural, electrical and magnetic characterization of the La1-xNaxMn1-yRuyO3+d (LNMRO) system with x = 0.05, 0.15 and y = 0, 0.05, 0.15, also comprising an investigation of the role of the oxygen content on the…
In view of the strong anisotropy of oxygen diffusion in high-Tc ceramic YBa2Cu3Ox, it is supposed that a polycrystalline sample of this material can be presented as consisting of crystal grains where each grain was formed by a certain…
We use transport and magnetization measurements to study the effect of Cr-doping to the phase diagram of the electron-doped superconducting BaFe2-xNixAs2 iron pnictides. In principle, adding Cr to electron-doped BaFe2-xNixAs2 should be…
The V2O5-MoO3 mixtures offer a whole range of materials where properties can be adjusted by simple modification of experimental parameters, which may be utilized in manufacturing of metamaterials with on-demand properties. The V2O5-MoO3…

This paper offers a study of oxygen dissolution into a solid, and its consequences on the mechanical behaviour of the material. In fact, mechanical strains strongly influence the oxidation processes and may be, in some materials,…
Thin films of Zn2+ doped cupric oxide (CuO) were synthesized using spin coating technique starting from a solution with Cu and Zn. The speed of spin coating and time duration were varied to fabricate a film with required uniform thickness.…
Effect of uncompensated Ga-V co-doping on structural phase transition, grain growth process and optical properties of TiO2 is reported here. Inhibition of phase transition due to co-doping is confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurement.…
Practical high temperature superconductors must be textured to minimize the reduction of the critical current density $J_{gb}$ at misoriented grain boundaries. Partial substitution of Ca for Y in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ has shown…
Uranium monocarbide (UC) is an advanced ceramic fuel candidate due to its superior uranium density and thermal conductivity compared to traditional fuels. To accurately model UC at reactor operating conditions, we developed a machine…
