Atomistic Simulation of High-Density Uranium Fuels

Figure 12

Equilibrium state of the computational cell at 𝑇 = 5 5 0 K for (a) Al-5 wt% Si/U-7 wt% Mo, (b) Zr/U-7 wt% Mo, and (c) Zr/U-10 wt% Zr, and their corresponding concentration profiles (in wt%). The original location of the interface (at the onset of the simulation) corresponds to the label “0”. U, Mo, Al, and Zr atoms (and profiles) are denoted in blue, grey, yellow, and green, respectively.
