Comment on “Correlation and relativistic effects in U metal and U-Zr alloy: Validation of ab initio approaches”

Journal Article Söderlind, P. ; Landa, A. ; Turchi, P. E. A. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In a recent paper, Xie et al. [Phys. Rev. B 88, 235128 (2013)], report that the density-functional theory (DFT) with the so-called DFT plus Hubbard U (DFT+U) modification improves energetics, volumes, and formation enthalpies over the standard form of DFT for uranium metal and U-Zr alloys. Also, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) was argued to advance the aforementioned properties in these systems. We demonstrate, contrarily, that neither the Hubbard U approach nor SOC is necessary for a correct description of uranium metal and U-Zr alloys. We further illustrate that the combination of DFT+U and SOC in the projector augmented-wave calculations by Xiemore »« less

Development of a CALPHAD Thermodynamic Database for Pu-U-Fe-Ga Alloys

Journal Article Moore, Emily E. ; Turchi, Patrice E. A. ; Landa, Alexander ; ... - Applied Sciences

The interaction of actinides and actinide alloys such as the δ-stabilized Pu-Ga alloy with iron is of interest to understand the impurity effects on phase stability. A newly developed and self-consistent CALPHAD thermodynamic database is presented which covers the elements: Pu, U, Fe, Ga across their whole composition and temperature ranges. The phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of plutonium-iron (Pu-Fe) and uranium-iron (U-Fe) systems are successfully reassessed, with emphasis on the actinide rich side. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to validate the stability of the stoichiometric (Pu,U)₆Fe and (Pu,U)Fe₂ compounds by computing their formation enthalpies. These data aremore »« less

Thermodynamic assessments and inter-relationships between systems involving Al, Am, Ga, Pu, and U

Journal Article Perron, A. ; Turchi, P. E. A. ; Landa, A. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

We present a newly developed self-consistent CALPHAD thermodynamic database involving Al, Am, Ga, Pu, and U. A first optimization of the slightly characterized Am-Al and completely unknown Am-Ga phase diagrams is proposed. To this end, phase diagram features as crystal structures, stoichiometric compounds, solubility limits, and melting temperatures have been studied along the U-Al → Pu-Al → Am-Al, and U-Ga → Pu-Ga → Am-Ga series, and the thermodynamic assessments involving Al and Ga alloying are compared. In addition, two distinct optimizations of the Pu-Al phase diagram are proposed to account for the low temperature and Pu-rich region controversy. We includedmore »« less
