Electronic structure and thermodynamic approaches to the prospect of super abundant vacancies in δ-Pu
This article is licensed under aCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence.Alexander Mu ñoz, Ivana Matanovic, Brendan Gifford, Sven Rudin, Troy Holland, Travis Jones In this manuscript, we use density functional theory to develop thermodynamic models for super abundant vacancy (SAV) formation in delta-Pu. We find that the formation of a hydride phase will occur before reaching the H pressures needed to form a SAV phase.
