Theoretical analysis of uranium-doped thorium dioxide: Introduction of a thoria force field with explicit polarization [PDF]
AIP Advances, 2015 Thorium dioxide is used industrially in high temperature applications, but more insight is needed into the behavior of the material as part of a mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel, incorporating uranium.

Configurational analysis of uranium-doped thorium dioxide [PDF]
, 2015 While thorium dioxide is already used industrially in high temperature applications, more insight is needed about the behaviour of the material as part of a mixed-oxide (MOX) nuclear fuel, incorporating uranium.

Front-Loading Zn<sup>2+</sup> via Lattice-Breathing-Enabled Early-Stage Co-Intercalation for Ultrastable Zn-Ion Batteries. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study introduces In3+ into δ‐MnO2 to create a lattice breathing effect via a dynamic strain field, which establishes efficient ″ polaronic superhighways″ for charge transport. We uncover an unconventional two‐stage (Zn2+/H+ co‐insertion followed by Zn2+‐dominant) mechanism that enables reversible structural adjustment. This approach simultaneously

Thorium amidates function as single-source molecular precursors for thorium dioxide [PDF]
, 2021 We report the synthesis of four homoleptic thorium(iv) amidate complexes as single-source molecular precursors for thorium dioxide. Each can be sublimed at atmospheric pressure, with the substituents on the amidate ligands significantly impacting their ...

A molecular dynamics study of the thermal properties of thorium oxide [PDF]
, 2012 There is growing interest in the exploitation of the thorium nuclear fuel cycle as an alternative to that of uranium. As part of a wider study of the suitability of thorium dioxide (thoria) as a nuclear fuel, we have used molecular dynamics to ...

Redetermination of the crystal structure of ThI4
IUCrData, 2018 Single crystals of ThI4, thorium(IV) tetraiodide, were grown from thorium dioxide and aluminium triiodide. In comparison with the structure model reported previously for this compound [Zalkin et al. (1964). Inorg. Chem.
