Site related nucleation and growth of hydrides on uranium surfaces
R. Arkush,A. Venkert,Michael Aizenshtein,S. Zalkind,D. Moreno,M. Brill,Moshe H. Mintz,N. Shamir +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of hydride nucleation and growth on certain surfaces of pure uranium and of U-0.1 wt.% Cr samples were studied (under I atm H, at temperatures of 50-75 C) using the hot-stage microscope, microprobe analyzer and atomic force microscope techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adsorption of H2O vs O2 on beryllium
S. Zalkind,Micha Polak,N. Shamir +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption mechanism and initial oxidation of sputtered beryllium exposed to H2O and to O2 were studied using a combination of the DRS, AES and XPS techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of ion-bombarded vs. annealed beryllium
S. Zalkind,Micha Polak,N. Shamir +2 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms of O2 adsorption and oxidation of ion-bombarded and annealed polycrystalline beryllium surfaces were comparatively studied in this article, where it was found out that the basic mechanism of oxygen adaption involves O clusters for both surfaces and at a certain oxygen coverage nucleation and growth of oxide islands take place.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of N2+ and C+ implantation on uranium hydride nucleation and growth kinetics
TL;DR: In this paper, 45 keV N2+ and C+ ions with a dose of 6·1017 ions/cm2 were implanted (separately) in pure uranium and the incipient hydriding nucleation and growth kinetics of the implanted uranium samples were measured in a hot-stage microscopy system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passivation of uranium metal by radio-frequency plasma nitriding against gas phase (H2, H2O) corrosion
TL;DR: In this paper, thin passive layers of uranium nitride were formed by nitriding pure metallic uranium in non-equilibrium, low pressure radiofrequency plasma of nitrogen, which provided a considerable protection against hydrogen attack.
