Abstract:The process of self irradiation of a Pu-Ga alloy has been studied by the neutron diffraction method with the determination of the crystal structure and root mean square atomic displacements 〈u 2 〉 (from the data on the Debye-Waller factor). The analysis was carried out at room temperature on the sample with an fcc structure prepared on the basis of a Pu 242 isotope feebly absorbing neutrons, in which a quickly decaying Pu 238 isotope (1.4 at %) was added to intensify self irradiation processes; this accelerate… Show more
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.
