Molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful tool for modeling structural transformations in
metallic materials under irradiation, severe plastic deformation, laser processing, etc. The …

A new interatomic potential for a uranium–molybdenum system with xenon is developed in
the framework of an embedded atom model using a force-matching technique and a dataset …

We studied structure and thermodynamic properties of cubic and tetragonal phases of pure
uranium and U-Mo alloys using atomistic simulations: molecular dynamics and density …

Nano-gas bubble superlattices are often observed in irradiated UMo nuclear fuels. However,
the formation mechanism of gas bubble superlattices is not well understood. A number of …

Uranium is attracting growing interest across fundamental science and nuclear research,
where atomistic simulations remain challenging. In this study, we developed a novel …

We present results of investigation of point defects formation and diffusion in pure γ-U and γ-
U–Mo fuel alloys. The study was performed using molecular dynamics simulation with the …

A semi-empirical Modified Embedded Atom Method (MEAM) potential is developed for
application to the high temperature body-centered-cubic uranium–zirconium alloy (γ-U–Zr) …

Abstract Uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) alloys are promising candidates for high-
performance research and test reactors, as well as fast reactors. The metastable γ phase …

Results of investigations of the self-diffusion in gamma-uranium and metallic U-Mo alloys
are presented. Calculations are performed using the method of atomistic modeling with the …

Abstract Uranium-10 wt.% zirconium (U-10 wt.% Zr) is a primary candidate for fast reactor
nuclear fuels. However, there is a lack of data characterizing the crystallographic phases …
