摘要:

我们报告的实验,以确定最常见的核燃料,UO $_2$的声子谱的辐射损伤的影响。我们用2.1 MeV He $^{2+}$离子辐照UO $_2$外延薄膜($\sim$ 300 nm)至0.15 dpa,使$Δ$ a/a $\sim$的晶格膨胀率达到0.6%,然后用掠入射非弹性X射线散射测量声子谱。我们成功地观察到声模式,横向和纵向,整个布里渊区。声子能量,在原始和辐照样品,是从散装材料中观察到的不变。另一方面,声子的线宽(成反比的声子寿命),显示出显着的拓宽时,比较原始和辐照样品。这种效果被证明是增加与声子能量在布里渊区。声学模式的声子寿命的降低与热导率降低50%大致一致。

英文摘要:

We report experiments to determine the effect of radiation damage on the phonon spectra of the most common nuclear fuel, UO$_2$. We have irradiated thin ($\sim$ 300 nm) epitaxial films of UO$_2$ with 2.1 MeV He$^{2+}$ ions to 0.15 dpa and a lattice swelling of $Δ$a/a $\sim$ 0.6 %, and then used grazing-incidence inelastic X-ray scattering to measure the phonon spectrum. We succeeded to observe the acoustic modes, both transverse and longitudinal, across the Brillouin zone. The phonon energies, in both the pristine and irradiated samples, are unchanged from those observed in bulk material. On the other hand, the phonon linewidths (inversely proportional to the phonon lifetimes), show a significant broadening when comparing the pristine and irradiated samples. This effect is shown to increase with phonon energy across the Brillouin zone. The decreases in the phonon lifetimes of the acoustic modes are roughly consistent with a 50 % reduction in the thermal conductivity.
