Atomistic Simulation of High-Density Uranium Fuels

Figure 9

Monte Carlo simulation results for 𝑇 = 4 5 0  K for (a) a single Si coating plane, (b) the usually accepted Al-5 wt% Si/U-7 wt% Mo case, and (c) two Si coating planes, and their corresponding concentration profiles (in wt%). U, Mo, Al, and Si atoms are denoted with blue, grey, yellow, and red spheres (cells) or lines (profiles). The original location of the interface (at the onset of the simulation) corresponds to the label “0”.
