First-principles calculation and experimental study of oxygen diffusion in uranium dioxide

Résumé

This work provides an illustration that density functional theory (DFT) + U calculations may quantitatively describe transport phenomena in uranium dioxide. Oxygen diffusion mechanisms are investigated using both ab initio calculations and experimental approaches mainly involving self-diffusion coefficient measurements. The dependences of the experimental data upon oxygen potential and sample impurity content demonstrate, by comparison with basic point defect and diffusion theory, that oxygen migration occurs via an interstitial mechanism. The temperature study provides an estimate of interstitial formation and migration energies which compare very favorably to energies calculated using the DFT+U approximation relating to the interstitialcy mechanism. Also, vacancy migration and Frenkel pair formation energies are shown to agree well with existing data.
