First principles calculations of the structure and elastic constants of α, β and γ uranium
TL;DR: In this paper, structural and elastic properties of five uranium crystal structures were analyzed using the Projector Augmented Wave method and the Perdew- Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA).

Benjamin Beeler,B. Good,Sergey N. Rashkeev,Chaitanya Deo,Michael I. Baskes,Michael I. Baskes,Maria A. Okuniewski +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first detailed study of self-defects in the bcc allotrope of U and also the first comprehensive study of dilute Zr defects in γ-U.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomistic properties of γ uranium
TL;DR: This is the first atomistic calculation of γ U properties above 0 K with interatomic potentials, and shows a linear trend, allowing for the calculation of the extrapolated zero pressure vacancy formation energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of applied strain on radiation damage generation in body-centered cubic iron
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have performed molecular dynamics simulations in which various types of homogeneous strains are applied to BCC Fe and the effect on defect generation is examined, finding that volume-conserving shear strains yield no statistically significant variations in the stable number of defects created via cascades in BCC Fe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomistic modeling of high temperature uranium–zirconium alloy structure and thermodynamics
Alexander P. Moore,Benjamin Beeler,Benjamin Beeler,Chaitanya Deo,Michael I. Baskes,Michael I. Baskes,Michael I. Baskes,Maria A. Okuniewski,Maria A. Okuniewski +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, 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) phase and employed with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate high temperature thermo-physical properties of U−Zr alloys.
