Atomistic simulation of uranium dioxide interfaces

The aim of work described in this thesis is to gain insight into the role of interfaces on atomic transport processes in polycrystalline uranium dioxide at high temperatures. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of grain boundaries as fast diffusion pathways and their potential to signif...
