Computational study of infrared spectra of silica polymorphs via classical mechanics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A potential energy model that correctly reflects zeolite framework interactions is the premise for computational studies of the physical and chemical processes occurring inside zeolites, such as catalytic chemical reactions ... -
Helium segregation and migration behavior near symmetric tilt grain boundaries in tungsten
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Tungsten, one of the most important divertor materials in nuclear fusion devices, will be subject to high-flux helium plasma, which can lead to unexpected structural defects and irregular microstructure such as fuzz and ... -
Influence of inert gases on heat and mass transfer in next-generation nuclear reactors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Inert gases cause some unique challenges in nuclear fuel development. In this dissertation, we study the impact of inert gases on the transport behavior in nextgeneration fission and fusion reactors. Uranium--molybdenum ... -
Phonons and thermal neutron scattering in [gamma]-U and U-Mo alloys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Elimination of high-enrichment uranium fuels in research and test reactors around the world is one of the many efforts that supports the goal of minimizing proliferation risks. These efforts have pushed for the development ...
