Exploring the Radiation Damage Resistance of Nanoscale Interfaces

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Richard Kurtz
Project type
Exploratory Research
The objective of this research is to rigorously test the hypothesis that internal interfaces can be manipulated at the nanoscale to enhance recombination of radiation-produced defects to dramatically…

Multi-Resolution Structure and Reactivity of Kinetically
Roughened Oxide Surfaces: Nanometric Scaling Behavior
and Molecular-Scale Controls (Rosso BES,PNNL Scope #43862. Rosso BES)

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Kevin Rosso
Project type
Exploratory Research
Surfaces of Fe oxides, Mn oxides and Si oxides (quartz) minerals in natural settings exhibit a significant degree of morphological heterogeneity on scales from 1-1000 nm. Surface roughness and its…

The Effects of Radiation Damage on Heteroepitaxial Interfaces

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Richard Kurtz
The interaction of radiation with materials controls the performance, reliability, and safety of conventional and advanced nuclear power systems. Energetic particles produced by nuclear reactions…

(GC6) Metal Oxides in Environmental Chemistry

Lead Institution
Genentech, Inc.
Principal Investigator
John Nicholas
Project type
Capability Research
Metal oxides are ubiquitous to much of environmental chemistry. Silica and related glasses are potential vehicles by which radioactive elements may be sequestered and stored. The migration of…

Absorption and Emission of Radiation in Materials

Lead Institution
University of Arizona
Principal Investigator
L. Corrales
Project type
Capability Research
Absorption of irradiation by a material can, for example, lead to changes of atomic and molecular configurations, and induce charged states in the form of defects or molecular rearrangements. Such…

(emslj2)Structure of Borate Glasses

Lead Institution
University of Arizona
Principal Investigator
L. Corrales
Project type
Capability Research
A first step in developing borate interaction potentials is to carry out a structural study using DFT-MD methods to explore the persistence of boroxol rings in borate glasses. The persistence of…

(gc2392)Immobilization of Radionuclides in Oxides

Lead Institution
University of Iceland
Principal Investigator
Hannes Jonsson
Project type
Capability Research
We will carry out a series of theoretical calculations related to the immobilization of radionuclides in oxides, both crystalline and amorphous. The principal questions that will be addressed are: …
