Investigation on thermophysical properties of RE6UO12(s) (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Sm)

Disordered Gd6UO12-δ with the cation antisite defects prepared by a combined mechanochemical−thermal method

“…There is continuous interest in gadolinium uranate, Gd 6 UO 12 , because of its applications, such as material for nuclear fuel forms and nuclear waste immobilization [1] . Gd 6 UO 12 crystallizes in a rhombohedral form, which is related to the fluorite-type structure with space group R-3 [ 2 , 3 ].…”
