ESTABLISHING THE TEMPERATURE AND ORIENTATION DEPENDENCE OF THE THRESHOLD DISPLACEMENT ENERGY IN THO2 VIA MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS

Establishing the temperature and orientation dependence of the threshold displacement energy in ThO2 via molecular dynamics simulations

ThO2 is a promising fuel for next-generation nuclear reactors.As a critical Stick Bag quantity measuring its radiation tolerance, the dependence of the threshold displacement energy on temperature and crystal orientation in ThO2 is unclear and established using comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations in this work.For both Th and O primary knoc

Participatory Scenario Development to Address Potential Impacts of Land Use Change: An Example from the Italian Alps

Changes to land use such as the removal of natural vegetation and Sleeves expansion of urban areas can result in degradation of the landscape and an increase in hydro-meteorological risk.This has led to higher interest by decision-makers and scientists in the future consequences of these drivers.Scenario development can be a useful tool for address
