Oxygen potentials of PuO 2-x were measured at temperatures of 1473 -1873 K by thermogravimetry. The oxygen potentials were determined by in situ analysis as functions of oxygen-tometal ratio and temperature. The measurement data were analyzed on the basis of defect chemistry and an approximate equation was derived to represent the relationship among temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and deviation x in PuO 2-x .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
