Atomistic simulation of helium diffusion and clustering in plutonium dioxide

This study uses molecular dynamics and barrier searching methods to investigate the diffusion and clustering of helium in plutonium dioxide. Such fundamental understanding of helium behaviour is required because radiogenic helium generated from the alpha decay of Pu nuclei can accumulate over time a...
