The synthesis of (U,Th)O(2) solid solutions at a relatively low temperature of 1100 °C using a new technique is described. First, separate actinide oxides were reacted with ammonium hydrogen fluoride to form ammonium actinide fluorides at room temperature. Subsequently, this fluoride was converted to an actinide oxide solid solution using a two-phase reaction process, which involved heating of the fluoride first at 610 °C in static air followed by heating at 1100 °C in flowing argon. Oxide solid solutions of UO(2) and ThO(2) were synthesized for a ThO(2) content from 10 to 90 wt %. Microscopic investigation showed that the (U,Th)O(2) solid solutions synthesized using this method had high crystallinity and homogeneity up to nanoscale. 相似文献

The international monitoring system exists to verify compliance with the terms of the comprehensive test ban treaty. About 10% of the member stations will be capable of detecting radioxenon, which can be produced in nuclear detonations or through civilian processes. We have studied the activation of radioxenon by the prompt, intense spectrum of 14-MeV neutrons produced at the National Ignition Facility. While 14-MeV neutrons are not currently a significant contributor to the production of radioxenon, we find that radioxenon produced through activation of environmental xenon by 14-MeV neutrons would be distinguishable from activation by nuclear tests. 相似文献

Using a new, low-temperature, fluoride-based process, thorium nitride imide of the chemical formula Th(2)N(2)(NH) was synthesized from thorium dioxide via an ammonium thorium fluoride intermediate. The resulting product phase was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and was found to be crystallographically similar to Th(2)N(3). Its unit cell was hexagonal with a space group of P3m1 and lattice parameters of a = b = 3.886(1) and c = 6.185(2) ?. The presence of -NH in the nitride phase was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Total energy calculations performed using all-electron scalar relativistic density functional theory (DFT) showed that the hydrogen atom in the Th(2)N(2)(NH) prefers to bond with nitrogen atoms occupying 1a Wyckoff positions of the unit cell. Lattice fringe disruptions observed in nanoparticle areas of the nitride species by high-resolution transmission electron microscopic (HRTEM) images also displayed some evidence for the presence of -NH group. As ThO(2) was identified as an impurity, possible reaction mechanisms involving its formation are discussed. 相似文献

Of all the elements, hydrogen has the largest naturally occurring variations in the ratio of its stable isotopes (D/H). It is for this reason that there has been a strong desire to add hydrogen to the list of elements amenable to isotope ratio monitoring gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (irm-GC/MS). In irm-GC/MS the sample is entrained in helium as the carrier gas, which is also ionized and separated in the isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS). Because of the low abundance of deuterium in nature, precise and accurate on-line monitoring of D/H ratios with an IRMS requires that low energy helium ions be kept out of the m/z 3 collector, which requires the use of an energy filter. A clean mass 3 (HD(+.)) signal which is independent of a large helium load in the electron impact ion source is essential in order to reach the sensitivity required for D/H analysis of capillary GC peaks. A new IRMS system, the DELTA(plus)XL(trade mark), has been designed for high precision, high accuracy measurements of transient signals of hydrogen gas. It incorporates a retardation lens integrated into the m/z 3 Faraday cup collector. Following GC separation, the hydrogen bound in organic compounds must be quantitatively converted into H(2) gas prior to analysis in the IRMS. Quantitative conversion is achieved by high temperature conversion (TC) at temperatures >1400 degrees C. Measurements of D/H ratios of individual organic compounds in complicated natural mixtures can now be made to a precision of 2 per thousand (delta notation) or, better, with typical sample amounts of approximately 200 ng per compound. Initial applications have focused on compounds of interest to petroleum research (biomarkers and natural gas components), food and flavor control (vanillin and ethanol), and metabolic studies (fatty acids and steroids).

Uranium mononitride (UN), sesquinitride (U2N3) and dinitride (UN2) were characterized by extended X-Ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. Analysis on UN indicate the presence of three
uranium shells at distances of 3.46(3), 4.89(5) and 6.01(6) Å and a nitrogen shell at a distance of 2.46(2) Å. For U2N3, two absorbing uranium atoms at different crystallographic positions are present in the structure. One of the uranium atoms
is surrounded by nitrogen atoms at 2.28(2) Å and by uranium atoms at 3.66(4) and 3.95(4) Å. The second type of uranium atom
is surrounded by nitrogen atoms at 2.33(2) and 2.64(3) Å and by uranium atoms at 3.66(4), 3.95(4) and 5.31(5) Å. Results on
UN2 indicate two uranium shells at 3.71(4) and 5.32(5) Å and two nitrogen shells at 2.28(2) and 4.34(4) Å. The lattice parameters
of UN, U2N3 and UN2 unit cells were respectively determined to be 4.89(5), 10.62(10) and 5.32(5) Å. Those results are well in agreement with
those obtained by X-Ray diffraction analysis. 相似文献

A low-temperature fluoride route was utilized to synthesize neptunium mononitride, NpN. Through the development of this process, two new neptunium nitride species, NpN(2) and Np(2)N(3), were identified. The NpN(2) and Np(2)N(3) have crystal structures isomorphous to those of UN(2) and U(2)N(3), respectively. NpN(2) crystallizes in a face-centered cubic CaF(2)-type structure with a space group of Fm3m and a refined lattice parameter of 5.3236(1) ?. The Np(2)N(3) adopts the body-centered cubic Mn(2)O(3)-type structure with a space group of Ia3. Its refined lattice parameter is 10.6513(4) ?. The NpN synthesis at temperatures ≤900 °C using the fluoride route discussed here was also demonstrated. Previous computational studies of the neptunium nitride system have focused exclusively on the NpN phase because no evidence was reported experimentally on the presence of NpN(x) systems. Here, the crystal structures of NpN(2) and Np(2)N(3) are discussed for the first time, confirming the experimental results by density functional calculations (DFT). These DFT calculations were performed within the local-density approximation (LDA+U) and the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA+U) corrected with an effective Hubbard parameter to account for the strong on-site Coulomb repulsion between Np 5f electrons. The effects of the spin-orbit coupling in the GGA+U calculations have also been investigated for NpN(2) and NpN. 相似文献
